Hyperlink field default protocol

[Charles Naylor]

Hi,

I'd like the "Customer Email" field of my table to be a
hyperlink, but it currently defaults to http protocol when
users enter data.

Thus, "(e-mail address removed)", when entered, will be
interpreted as "http://[email protected]".

The hyperlink works if users enter "mailto:" before each
entry, but this is unwieldy, and causes the field to
display the protocol all the time.

Is there any way to set the field to default to "mailto:"
instead of http?

Thanks for your help,
Charles

An alternative approach might be to use a standard text field. In your
forms, you can "build" the "email to" functionality, using the text stored.

Good luck
