I am using a database to generate a user report. I have been able to get the http: links to work but not the mailto: links. I have modified the settings in both FP and Access. So far the closest that I have come is to have the e-mail link jump to the actual host site.

I am sure the combination is out there.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thank you,
David
 
It's a simple code adjustment surely. Please post code and advise what data exactly is being pulled from the Database. IE: database stores or or me@mydomain.com.

Below is the code from FP2002. I have stored the DB info in several ways.

I have used:
mailto:dburnham4729@yahoo.com and
dburnham4729@yahoo.com

I have set the fields type in access to both text and to hyperlink with no difference in the outcome.

I appreciate your help.

David
