Hi!
I have a problem because I have a db of 1000 users in this format:
Name, Surname, Adress, Phone, E-mail
The field "e-mail" contain an e-mail but when I visualize the whole db in a php page, its not clickable (linked) but just listed as text. How can I make the e-mail clickable without editing each 1000 names by hand?

Thanx a lot

Miky

If you store the following in the DB:

Then you can do something like this to turn it into a link when displayed:

<% varEmail = rsName.Fields.Item("Email".value : Response.Write("<a href=""mailto:" & varEmail & """>" & varEmail & "</a>" %>

Alternatively you could convert it into a link before inserting it into the database:

varEmail = Request.Form("txtEmail"
varEmail = "<a href=""mailto:" & varEmail & """>" & varEmail & "</a>"

Owen.
