    Using an email to link between two different forms; help

    All that I have learned so far has come from reading forums and tutorials, which has served me pretty well so far. I consider myself a new user of Access.

    Right now I am stuck on problem and I don’t know if I can do this:

    There is a command button on Form A that sends an email to a user with a link in the email that will direct the user to Form B.

    Can this be done?

    Generally speaking, no.

    I don't know of any easy way to access a specific Form from outside of Access. And even if there was a way, many e-mail programs will attempt to block links to Access Databases in much the same way they block links to executables and the like.
