Is it possible to make an email address field a hyperlink so tyhat you just need to click the email address and your mail client activates?

Thx,

John

Re: Email Hyperlink

Hi John,
I'd probably do it something like this (see attachment) but I'm sure there are other ways too.
The extra bit in the script is just so you can double-click in the grid rather than having to mouse down to the edit field (call me lazy!!).
Hope this helps,
Derek.

Cursor = crHand


then create event OnClick for the Label

begin
    OpenURL('mailto:email@gmail.com');
