I've got a field called email in my table that I want to present as an email
link. I've used fldemail ="<href = mailto:" & fldemail & ">" & fldemail &
"</a>" in my Before Show events and set the email field to be a label. If I
uncheck html, I can see that my correct mailto: html is there. I've tried
making the field a URL, but it creates a live link to my live directory with
the email address tagged onto the end. How do I make this an active mailto:
link?
Thanks,
Joe

Here's a trick that worked for me ... I used a custom select statement
like this:
select * , concat('mailto:',s_email) as mailto from table
The I use the "mailto" field as the URL ... that did work

why do you uncheck "html" ?
can you see email link ?
anyhow it's supposed to be a label type in this case .
currently codecharge doesn't treat mailto: as url type when it
comes to field properties.

I unchecked html just to see if the html formatting was there. I can see a
link, but it puts my live directory in front of the email address:
example: c:/virtualhost/htdocs/someone@somwhere.com
I would like the email address to be mailto links so visitors can click on
them and launch their mail client.
Thanks.

What you did should work, but please use "Label" field type instead of URL.
And please check the "Html" option.
