Is it possible to embed a link to an email address in a text box? I have a text box with the following in it:
='If this quote meets your approval, you may respond to '
+ [EPContact.EMail]
+' with "Quote Accepted" as your electronic signature.'+'{br}'
I would like the embedded email address field to be a hyperlink that can be clicked. It looks like it might be possible since the HTML <br> shows up although it is enclosed in {braces} and not <>.
I tried:
'{a href="mailto:'+ [EPContact.EMail]+'"}' and '<a href="mailto:'+ [EPContact.EMail]+'">' thinking it would follow HTML syntax for the <a href> tag, but no luck.
I appreciate any ideas you might have.
I'm not sure how to put a hyperlink in part of a text field. As far as I know, the entire text field has to be a hyperlink and it can only link to one place.
So, the only way that I can think to do it would be to have the email address in its own text box like this:
That will work. I had forgotten that a text box has a URL property. I can just format the one text box into three and make the email address linked. Thanks a bunch.
It would definitely be cool if you could generate HTML. It would open up a lot of possibilities. But I could also see there being situations that would break Report Designer so maybe that's why they don't allow it. At least, as far as I know they don't allow it.
