Hi
You can try it this way
<a href="<%= mailAddress%>"><%= name%></a>

this will create anchor tag that will force the Outlook to popup when
clicked on the link

Hi

At the bottom of http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2295 there is an example
of how to write the HTML to do this. If you are currently doing something
similar then you may want to view the HTML source to see what it contains.

You may also want to read http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2119.

More properly, you should have:
<a href="mailto:<%= mailAddress %>"><%= name %></a>

Which *may* open Outlook, or may open another email program. It depends
on what they have configured into their browser as their default email
program.

HTH,

Damien
