Hi

In a 3-rd part Grid control when i click on html link ( something like
www.google.com ) i am able to open Internet Explorer programmatically using
Shell Control in C#.

I have a e-mail address in another column, but am not able to open the mail
client (eg Outlook Express) with the e-mail address, do i need to add
"mailto:" to the e-mail address to invoke Outlook Express.

TIA
Barry

Yes, but not outlook only - the mail client which is set into the system
as default
