Hi all thanx alot for hopin in. I have a search, result and detail pages. Everything is fine except the email link. In the Access database i have a hyperlink column with all the e-mails, so that a user doesnt have to cut and paste rather just click the link and his mail program starts. The same as we do in html pages. So it doesn't work or maybe it doesn't like me. Everytime in e-mail column appears the complete syntax " e-mail mailto: " instead of hyperlink.
So people any suggestions i know i am not that good so dont pass any stupid comments as i am a heart patient hahaa joke dont like it fine then suggest any solution
Thanxxx }<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Change eMail field in your DB to be text and it will probably work. Correct syntax is "mailto: " not "e-mail mailto: "

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

What I do here is the following:

Database field with email addresses, i.e. ,

To display their email so that it becomes a link on the asp page do the following:

Email: &lt;a href="mailto:&lt;%=(rsRecordset.Fields.Item("email".Value)%&gt;"&gt;&lt;%=(rsRecordset.Fields.Item("email".Value)%&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Hope this helps

DB

I have already solved the problem by changing the field to text only and the applying the server behaviour "Auto Hyperlink".
