Almost finished my database thankyou! Just a couple more questions. I have a
email hyperlink in my database which includes a custom subject line. I would
like to include in the subject line a reference feild - so when a person
clicks the email link it looks something like this: Subject: Your
advertisement Reference No: ????? with the question marks being a feild in
the database <Ref> Is this possible, if so how?

Thanks again Anna.
 
If Ref is your variable
In code view
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Your advertisement Reference No: <%=Ref%>">Email me</a>

If Ref is your DB field name you need to make it a DB recordset ref as in: objRs("Ref")

Ref:"> the ref I need to insert is a database feild (called Ref). so what
would i have to insert?
 
<a href="mailto:<%=FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"Email")%>?Subject=Your advertisement Reference No:
