Microsoft Access and Groupwise

Does Access automatically connect to Groupwise (my companies choice of email account) from a hyperlink?

RE: Microsoft Access and Groupwise

Hi Nicola, thanks for the query. The short answer is yes. Your internal email client should be set up to capture hyperlinked email address. In Access, you need to set the data type of the field to hyperlink and you may need to alter the url to read:

mailto: youremail@address

The table should display the hyperlinked email address and when clicked on it should open up an instance of Groupwise with the email address in the "To:" field. Try it out and let me know how you get on.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Access tip:

Run with the total

Often when creating reports with lists of transactions it can be useful to have a column which totals the transactions as the report progresses.

Using the Sum function gives the total for the whole group, not a running total.



Access provides an easy method of achieving a running total.



Click on the text box containing the data you wish to contain the running total.
Select the Data tab
Click in the Running sum option
Click the down arrow to view three options
