<img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=2857&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> I'm trying to use a drop down box to choose email addresses (from another table) to convert into MailTo: (EmailHyperlinks). Problem is - the code will not convert the email addresses, from the table, into MailTo: (the email addresses turn out be text only with no link).

My assumption is - you can not use a dropdown field (from another table) to create EmailHyperlinks in ASPRunner? Looks like the only way for converting to Mailto: is to manually create the list (instead of picking a table for drop down box)?

You can use custom expression in Lookup wizard.

Instead of displaying email address in dropdown box you can use the following:

'<a href=mailto:' + EmailField + '>' + EmailField + '</a>'


Another workaround - modify list page to convert field value into email hyperlink.
