Hi gang,

I often use the hyperlink data type in a table contain people so I can quickly access their email address from within the application. If you simply type in an email address, it defaults to
I hit the ole' F2 and change http:// to mailto: and it acts as an email address - opening outlook and placing the address in the TO: field.

What I would like to know - is there a way that I could programmatically change http:// to mailto:? It seems there should be someway to do this on the on exit event of the field - I just do not know how. The reason is I have to instruct users of the application how to do this and it would be a lot simpler to just do it automatocally. I have tried using the database properties window - but that was a futile effort. ANY assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
