      Welcome to Woody’s Lounge!

      You write “when I click the email on my form”. Could you explain what you click? A command button, or a text box, or…? And what type of field contains the e-mail address – a text field, or a hyperlink field?

        My goodness what a swift response!!
        Okay I have a label on my form called label247, when I click this label it starts up an [eventprocedure] as follows:
        Private Sub Label247_Click()
        Application.FollowHyperlink “mailto: [Emailaddress]”
        End Sub

        The email address is in another field named : Emailaddress….
        After this my brain begins to hurt… thanks Steve

          Thanks for the clarification. Try this:

          Private Sub Label247_Click()
          Application.FollowHyperlink “mailto:” & [Emailaddress]
          End Sub

          The [Emailaddress] field is placed outside the quotes, so the code now uses the value of the field instead of the literal text.
