To resolve, select text to be hyperlinked, and simply add the mailto link in the Data source section, not the Address section, of the Hyperlink details, surrounded by quotations, e.g. "mailto:hilarystoupa@awesome.com". Only remaining issue is that you won't see the resulting hyperlink displayed properly within designer, but you can still edit the link associated with the selected text, and the hyperlink will show up and work properly in your published form.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123242.aspxFri, 24 Jul 2020 13:06:29 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123242dapklp0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123242.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=40&PostID=123242My apologies for multiple posts, but I found something that worked - different direction assisted by the above suggestion to use a data connection. Instead of making the data connection to a SharePoint list, I created a field inside of this form and pointed to it. This way, I don't have to maintain a separate list for all of my form Feedback links. I know this has been an exercise in me talking to myself so far (cuz it is early in the morning), but the first part of this thread was very helpful. Thank you all who came before me! I know there are advantages to referencing lists outside of the form, but I wasn't looking forward to maintaining yet another list. Thanks again. :o)https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123241.aspxFri, 24 Jul 2020 12:36:37 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123241dapklp0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123241.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=40&PostID=123241Update: I could not duplicate this, but it worked once. I typed a sentence like: For comments/feedback on the form, e-mail dpotthof@stewart.com. InfoPath automatically turned my e-mail address into a link. I then modified the address to include a subject - which worked. But, I kept ding-donging with it and it reverted back to destination only and if I insist on adding a subject, it removes the link altogether. I'll update you if I can duplicate my fleeting success. The difference seemed to be that when I went in to change the address, the Display was greyed out. Now, that doesn't seem to matter any more.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123240.aspxFri, 24 Jul 2020 11:58:10 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123240dapklp0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123240.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=40&PostID=123240Has there been any progress other than the work-around? I discovered that creating a hyperlink to MSN.com works just fine, but once you insert "mailto" it ceases to function as a link. I cannot modify and existing link or create one from scratch to initiate an e-mail. I'm hoping that there is another solution besides using SharePoint list data sources.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121340.aspxThu, 25 Jul 2019 00:00:43 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:121340Hilary Stoupa0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121340.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=40&PostID=121340Excellent idea - thanks for posting, it will help others. :)https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121339.aspxWed, 24 Jul 2019 22:53:13 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:121339Patrick L0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121339.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=40&PostID=121339Thanks for trying, much appreciated. I can use a workaround for it though by creating a SharePoint list and insert the whole e-mail message in there (mailto:jdoe@acme.com?subject=Test&body=Testing) and create a data connection to the list. Once I create a hyperlink I select the Data source instead typing the address.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121338.aspxWed, 24 Jul 2019 21:44:49 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:121338Hilary Stoupa0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121338.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=40&PostID=121338Here's the thread I was remembering - unfortunately, it is just around SharePoint List forms: https://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/38847/120263.aspx#120263https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121337.aspxWed, 24 Jul 2019 21:34:53 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:121337Patrick L0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/121337.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=40&PostID=121337Works as expected - wants to send an e-mail to test@test.com.

These are my steps: Select some text like "contact this person" and then pressing Ctrl+K to open the hyperlink box I type in the address field mailto:jdoe@acme.com and the display text is already pre-filled and then click OK The text does NOT turn blue and is NOT underlined. Right-clicking the text gives me these options: Edit, Open, Copy and Remove Hyperlink. If I select Edit Hyperlink the h-link box will open with no address. Preview shows no link and publishing the form will display it as a hyperlink but the link does not go anywhere, just opens a new tab. Note that this does not happen with a regular link such as http://google.com. I realize that this is probably a Windows 10 issue, not InfoPath, but maybe somebody in this community has found a solution. Grateful for any help - Thx!
