Hyperlink in Lotus R5?

[joneny]

Does anyone know how to create a hyperlink in Lotus R5?

I plan to create a field called "email". Once the field is filled out, we save it, then once we reopen the document, the email should become a hyperlink. Then we can simply click the e-mail address, and it automatically opens a new memo with the e-mail address typed across the To: line.

Please respond to me if you can help. Thanks a million!!!!!

This is how you do a "normal" email hyperlink. I don't work with fields, but maybe this will work with them, too.

Enter the email address or whatever word(s) you want to be the hyperlink. Select the entry you just made. (Can you select the field?) From the menu bar, select Create - Hotspot - Link Hotspot. A properties box will pop up. Leave the default of URL in the Type field. In the Value field, enter the email address with mailto: before the address. Don't put a space between mailto: and the address. Close the box.

Hope this helps.

The other option would be to just do:

<a href='mailto:andrew.j.harrison@cgey.com'>
Click here to send me an email
</a>

Where my email address is could be replaced with a field in order to create a dynamic email link.

Hope this helps..
