Database Results

[DFelden]

I have two questions, wasn't sure whether they were
FrontPage or Access questions.

I have created a phone directory using FP and Access. One
of the DB fields is the person's email address. When this
information is populated from Access to FP the email
address does not come over as a mailto link. If I
indicate in Access that the field is a hyperlink then when
I click on the link in Frontpage it treats it as a
hyperlink to a webpage and not an email address. Long
question short, how do I get a text field being populated
from Access into a cell in FP to be a clickable "mailto"
link?

Secondly, is there a way to have the data being brought
over from an Access DB into FP conform to my CSS
formatting?

Using FP2003, Windows NT, IIS4.0, ASP. Thanks in advance
for your help.

Clickable email address in the Database Results Wizard

FP2003: In Design view, right-click on the field, select Hyperlink, choose
Link to: Email Address, Parameters, Choose Insert Field Value, and select
the fieldname containing the e-mail address from the dropdown list and click
OK and OK again.
