E-mail links to Outlook in Access fields NES 12/24/2008 4:58:00 AM In MS Word, if you type an email address, it becomes a link automatically. If you click on that link, it opens Outlook with a new message, ready to create and send. I have a field in an Access form (Text Field) for email addresses, and I would like to have the same functionality. I tried changing the field to a hyperlink, but it took me to the web instead. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Norm Shimmel Butler, PA
