E-mailling From Access Database

[dixxy]

Is it possible to e-mail directly from an access db.

If I enter an e-mail address in a text box I would like to be able to click on it an lauch outlook or whatever the default mail reader is and have the adress inserted into the 'to' field of the mail reader...I'm thinking something like html code where you can use the 'mailto' to do the same preocess...

Can this be done?

Thanks,

Sylvain
