Prevent link expression to send email from opening a new tab

[#1]

Hi there,

I am making use of a link expression in a straight table on an email address field. This allows me to simply press on the field and a new email window appears. Here is how I did it for those who wants to do something similar:

= [Email Address] & '<url>mailto:' & [Email Address]

&'&subject=Follow up email '& [Order Number]

& '&' &'body=Dear Sir/Madam,' &'%0A'&'%0A'

&'Kindly confirm receipt and delivery date.' &'%0A'&'%0A'

&'Kind regards,'&'%0A'

&'$(vStaffMemberName)'&'%0A'

Although this is a great feature and works perfectly, when I click on a email address from accesspoint, a new blank Google Chome tab opens. Is there any way how I can stop this?

Hi
I wonder if you resolved the issue.

Did you try to install a outlook client on the server or have the users use the plugin?

Hi Matthew,

I also have the same issue. Is there any way to stop opening a new tab in the browser once email link from the table is clicked?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Parth,

No, unfortunately to date I haven't found a solution to prevent Google Chrome from opening a new tab every time a link is pressed.

However, Internet Explorer does not open a new tab and works exactly as desired (at least in my case).

Thanks,

Matthew

Thanks Matthew. It also works for me with IE.
