Linking from access to Microsoft Outlook

Guest

Hi,

I am having some difficulty in creating a link from an e-mail address in an
access form (set as a hyperlink) to open up a new mail message with the
mentioned e-mail address already in the 'To' box using Microsoft Outlook.
Microsoft Outlook is already set as the default programme and I have managed
to create a link that takes me to the outlook start up page. Help!!!!

Thanks
Jessica

There are a number of ways but a very simple one is:


in the on click action of a button or doubleclick event of a field:

application.followhyperlink "mailto:" &
me.nameoffieldcontainingemailaddress
