Using Hyperlink(emailto) in Navision 5

guidorobben

Hi,

Since Navision 5, the following code doesn't work anymore:

HYPERLINK('emailto:username@domain.nl');

Somehow they changed the way hyperlink works. Does anybody have a idea how I can make this work?

Thanks,

Guido

I'm no HTML expert, but I always thought you did mailto links like this:

mailto:matt@navision.com

not

emailto:matt@navision.com

Maybe that will help.

oeps, that was a typo.

Mailto also doesn't work.

After diving deeper into the rundll32 possibilities ... you could use this:

IF ISCLEAR(MSCShell) THEN CREATE(MSCShell);
MSCShell.Run('rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler mailto:me@waldo.be');

where MSCshell is an automation variable of "'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell"

This also doesn't work since Nav. 4.0

use following Code

//Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
//WSHShell	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell	

if isclear(WSHShell) then
  create(WSHShell);

Varia1 := 0;     //Variant Variable
Varia2 := TRUE;

WSHShell.run('cmd /c start mailto:renekaufmann@XXX.de',Varia1,Varia2);
clear(WSHShell);

Ah, OK, because I tested it in 5.0 (no 4.0) and it worked ... .
So solutions enough for this topic .

interestingly e-mail with *.ch works. Outlook E-Mail pops up.

HYPERLINK('mailto:anything@test.ch');
