How do I execute Outlook from an Access field?

[rlh777]

I created an e-mail field in my database. I set the format of "Is Hyperlink" to "Yes". My problem is that when I enter an e-mail in the field it tries to send me to an http. I would like Outlook to execute on this field everytime it is clicked and I would like whatever e-mail address is in the field to defaul to the "Mail To" field.
