sql server reporting services:
I have a column on a report listing a contact. I want to click on the
contact and bring up my email program. I entered ="mailto:" & email variable
in the Jump to URL field. I get an error Invalid URI: the hostname could not
be parsed. Although it does work if I hard code the address like
=mailto:me@microsoft.com

Thank you for any help.

I have a data set that returns a contact name (contactname) and the contact
email address (email). The report displays the contact name and the
navigation is assigned a Jump to URL field as

="mailto:" & email

I get the message Invalid URI: the hostname could not be parsed.

If I assign the Jump to URL Field with a hardcoded email address it works
fine

=mailto:me@microsoft.com

thank you
