Mailto hyperlinks in database results

[databaseboy2005]

Hello,
This seems like it should be simple to do, but obvioulsy I have had no luck.
I have a field where guest put in their email address. I simply want the
email address to be a clickable link that open a preaddressed email on the
results page. Any ideas?

If you review the directions on this page for FP03 it says to click the
insert field value. However this is greyed out. Any ideas?

I'll have to check that when I get home - I don't have FP2003 here at work.

I just tried this in FP2003 and it worked. Can you try it again?

I just tried again and I even created a new form with a new database and I
get the same thing. I cant imagine that I am missing something in those
directions. Seem straight forward. DO you have to do anything with the
fields in the actual database? Do they need to be formated a certain way?

OH, I am so retarded! I was clicking on the form field, not the the result
field on the results page. Thanks for your help.

Nope, just ordinary text.
