Help.
I have a Contact management Database in Access, together with various
information including email address.
I want to be able to click on a contacts details and it opens up Outlook, in
the same way as it would in excel. I moved to Access from Excel to make
things easier, however, not being able to simply click to open Outlook
sometimes makes it more time comsuming.
Is there a simple way to achieve this? I say simple as I'm no programmer
etc.....
Thanks
 
Hi Mike

It's very simple. Just make sure you stroe the email address in the table
like this
MailTo:[email protected]
MailTo:[email protected]
etc
etc

The MailTo will open the outlook when you click the address

If you have mail addresses stored already you can use an update query to add
the "MailTo" to the addresses.
