URL in a text box

Is it possible to set properties(?) in a text box, in a form, so when an
email address is entered it will be a URL and when clicked it will open a
message box to compose an email? If so, just how would that be done? Thanks

URL's aren't automatically recognized by the Text Box control in Outlook.
You'd have to fake it: use a blue, underlined font and set a custom mouse
icon to any pointing hand type cursors you may have. Then trap the Click
event for the control and create a new message then.
