I am setting up a database where I need to be able to
eventually get a link to open the Outlook Express when a
reader clicks on the link. I can get the websites to open
up using the hyperlink category setting in the datatype
setting. Any ideas please.

Thanks Graham
 
Assuming Outlook Express is your default email client, you have to change
the hyperlink starting with http: to mailto:

Often its easier to just save the email part of the address as text, rather
than a hyperlink, then just do

DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , Me.Email

when you double-click on the textbox ( called Me.Email in the example
above )
