Hi,
I have a form based upon a table.
In the table I created a field: E_mail (hyperlink)
When I open a previuously created form, the related field shows the e-mail
adress as blue, underlined characters.
When I click on the field I want my e-mail program to be opened, the email
adress already entered, so I can write an email.
This however doesn't work.

I already added MAILTO (in the after update property) but this also doesn't
work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
JP

Jean-Paul,

Personally, I avoid the hyperlink data type, in favor of text. Then, I add
code to the click (actually, I usually use the double-click event) of the
textbox where the info is displayed on my form.

You can use the SendObject method to open your e-mail program, fill in the
To: address, and many of the other fields. Then set the EditMessage
parameter of the method to True to have the application opened so that you
can edit the message.

Probably had to do with the hyperlink data type...
Everything works just as I want it to
Many thanks
