you want it a link in the database?

if so i think you change the "field" to be a hyperlink

if your going to get the results from a ASP Page then do this

<a href="<% if left(rs("field"), 7) <> "mailto:" then Response.Write("mailto:") end if
response.write(rs("Field") & """>" & rs("Field") & "</a>") %>

now, this will check to make sure it puts the "mailto:" in the hyper link if its not there, for this id use a text field in the datebase

if this isnt want you want, then give more details on wot you want to do, and i, or sumone else will try to help better

This is the source code on my "view" page that deals with the Email address

<tr>
    <td><strong><font size="2" face="Arial">Email Address</font></strong></td>
    <td colspan="3"><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"><%=rst("email_address")%><a href="mailto:">< a href=rst("email_address")</a></font></strong></td>
  </tr>

I wish to view the Email address hyperlinked so I can click on to reply when viewing the data on the resulting page.

yeah the problem is your not making it a hyper link if this is your code,

change it to this and it should work!

<tr>
    <td><strong><font size="2" face="Arial">Email Address</font></strong></td>
    <td colspan="3"><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"><%

Response.Write("<a href=""")
if left(rs("field"), 7) <> "mailto:" then
      Response.Write("mailto:")
end if
response.write(rs("Email_Address") & """>" & rs("Email_Address") & "</a>")

%></font></strong></td>
  </tr>

this will make it a hyper link as you just forgot to put the HTML tag in

copy the code above and it should work

yeah sorry i just realised after i posted you dont use "rs"

change the

response.write(rs("Email_Address") & """>" & rs("Email_Address") & "</a>")

to

response.write(rst("Email_Address") & """>" & rst("Email_Address") & "</a>")

now it should work

ok this is the code as it stands now:

<tr>
    <td><strong><font size="2" face="Arial">Email Address</font></strong></td>
    <td colspan="3"><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"><%

Response.Write("<a href=""")
if left(rst("field"), 7) <> "mailto:" then
      Response.Write("mailto:")
end if
response.write(rst("Email_Address") & """>" & rst("Email_Address") & "</a>")

%></font></strong></td>
  </tr>

and now receiving this error:
