I have a database that stores contractor information. I would like to set up
a field for their e-mail. I've stored OLE links for websites in the past
that automatically launch the website. I would like to be able to launch
Outlook and have the address appear in the To: field. This works fine in
Excel. How can I do it in Access?
 
Create a text-type field in your contractor info table. In your contractor
info form (you ARE using forms, right?!), put code behind the double-click
event for that field. In that code, you can open/create an email using the
contents of the fields as a 'mailto:' address.
