Email question

[Ken D.]

I have an asp page that returns a record from my SQL database based on a
custom query. One field in the database is email address. I would like the
field displayed as a link (is working) and when the user clicks on it, their
email client opens. Here is the code:

<%="<a href=""" & FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"Email") & """>" &
FP_Field(fp_rs,"Email") & "</a>"%>

I tried inserting mailto: in the a href statement but it does not work. Any
ideas?

<%
Response.Write "<a href=""mailto:" & FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"Email") &
""">"
Response.Write FP_Field(fp_rs,"Email") & "</a>"
%>

You forgot the colon after mailto

Mike,

I receive a message that the contents will overwrite but it keeps reverting
back to the code below:

<!--webbot bot="DatabaseResultColumn"
s-columnnames="Department,Address,Suite,CSZ,Phone,Fax,Email" s-column="Email"
b-tableformat="FALSE" b-hashtml="TRUE" b-makelink="TRUE" clientside
b-MenuFormat preview="<font size="-1">&lt;&lt;</font><a
href=".">Email</a><font size="-1">&gt;&gt;</font>" startspan -->

<%="<a href=""" & FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"Email") & """>" &
FP_Field(fp_rs,"Email") & "</a>"%>

<!--webbot bot="DatabaseResultColumn" endspan i-CheckSum="48711" --></td>

It seems so simple...
