Received an interesting request from a user that stores contact
information in a Base document. When stored in a Write or Calc document,
OOo recognizes things such as an email address and converts it to a
link. You can then click on the link to automatically open say your
email software.
Now, if I store an email address as a field in Base, is there anyway
that I can cause this to be treated as a link in a form (or similar).
In a pinch, I will write a macro that is called as an event handler for
a button activation that will read the email field for the current
record and invoke the default email software. I would prefer to not
write a macro, however.
Have a look at very simplistic approach:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4778&p=25810&hilit=file+hyperlink+url#p25810
(no error handling)
Hope this helps,
Yes, it helps a lot.... It does the heavy lifting for me. Thanks!
