54321 2002-06-14 02:50:00 I want to be able to click on an email address in an Access form field and open an Outlook or Outlook Express email form with the address in the 'to' (like a 'mailto'). It must be easy, but I can't work out how to do it, and as usual, the Access help is no help at all.
I would also love to be able to automagically add an email address from the form to my Address book - is this do-able?
I have some VBA experience, so code-cutting is not a turn off.

Thanks

54323 2002-06-14 08:43:00 Thanks for your response, Chris. Alas what I want to do is perform the same thing from within Access, maybe using VBA, and I don't _think_ that HTML will work in that environment (although I would love to be proved wrong!) Guest (0)
