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.

    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);
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    no, hyperlink and shell function

    you was al little bit faster than i with typing ;-)
    I'v make an coffee break between typing and posting.
    So your statement was faster then mine ;-)

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

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

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