Thread: E-mail links to Outlook in Access fields

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.

Hello Norm,

I saa you are from Butler. Butler is my hometown! I now live in Clarion but
have family that lives at the intersection of 422 and the Herman Road. Where
in Butler do you live?

Steve
