event action to send email

[Graham Bucknall]

I have a form with a person's email address as a field. I would like to be able to double click on it and start Outlook with the email address in place.

Is this possible, and if it is, how??

 

[IMO]

Put this code in the Double Click event of the field...

Private Sub YourTextField_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
    
    Dim X
    X = fHandleFile("mailto:" & Me!YourTextField, WIN_NORMAL)

End Sub

and change the 'YourTextField' to the Name of the field.

Wouldn't it have been better to post this in the 'Forms' forum?

IMO

Thanks for that.

Sorry abotu being in the wrong section - I'd been going through different sections and thought I was in Forms!!
