I would think that the preferred method would be to use the email code and forget the hyperlink altogether as the hyperlink method may (if not now, then in the future) cause Access to raise dialogs that you don't want (e.g. security messages, 'which application do you want to open this with' etc). However, just this will work but for me, raises the application prompt
application.FollowHyperlink "mailto:addressHere@someplace.com"
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
