>I'm trying to figure out how to use a FFC Hyperlink Label class to provide a MAILTO link on a form (e.g., 'mailto:fred@splat.com'). The problem is that the class seems to prepend 'http://' to the font of the URL if it isn't already there, which makes the browser ignore the 'MAILTO' part.

I think the FFC Hyperlink class is pretty geared toward URLs. You can create your own hyperlink label class pretty easily though. Just create a subclass of your label class and add a new property called HREF. Then in the click event of the label, put some code like this:

lcHREF = IIF(EMPTY(THIS.HREF), THIS.Caption, THIS.HREF)
IF EMPTY(lcHREF)
RETURN
ENDIF
DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute ;
IN SHELL32.DLL ;
INTEGER nWinHandle,;
STRING cOperation,;
STRING cFileName,;
STRING cParameters,;
STRING cDirectory,;
INTEGER nShowWindow
=ShellExecute(0,"Open",lcHREF,"","",1)

This label will work with any string that can be executed with Shellexecute; it doesn't assume any http or mailto or anything. You just need to assure that the href property (or the caption if you want to show the address) contains the correct string.
