Ive created an app being used for auditing legal documents. For reference,
the author of a particular doc being audited is shown in one field on the
form together with an "exception description" text field in another. The
authors email address is also a part of the query on which the form is
based, but does not appear on the form itself.

I have a command button that I'd like to use to pop up the email application
with the author's email address in the "To:" line and the contents of the
"exception description" in the "Subject:" line.

I am familiar with the syntax for mailto:[email protected] ?Subject=mary had a
little lamb. I'd like to get the code to pick up the email addrerss in the
query on which the form is based, and pull the subject line from the
exception description field in either the form or the query.

I'm not a programmer, but I knew one once.
 
While it may be possible to use FollowHyperlink with the syntax you suggest,
SendObject would probably be easier.
