The database I'm currently building for our little company is to replace the MS Outlook contacts system.

A question was asked whether it is possible to have a mailto style link that is derived from a field in an access table?

Is it possible to have a button beside an e-mail address field inside a form that will open an empty email with that address in the To: box??

Thank you very much for your help!
 
You can use FollowHyperlink:

FollowHyperlink "mailto:" & Me.EmailField

As far as I recall, or you can use a hyperlink textbox or field. I prefer FollowHyperlink.
