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 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> 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> 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
