SSRS MailTo Expression

I have a textbox with the following expression- ="MailTo:[email protected]".

I have tried with and without the quotes. With the quotes, I just get the actual text, which is MailTo:[email protected]. Without the quotes, I receive an error about using a colon.

What I want to do is hyperlink the email address so that it can be clicked on in the report, and have outlook open. How can I achieve this?

Apparently, the above does not describe my problem enough...let's see if this works...

Right click the textbox and go to Textbox properties, in the Action tab select Go to URL and use the expression you need:

 ="mailTo:[email protected]"

Also if you set the Place Holder Markup Type property to HTML you can use an expression like this:

="<a href=" & CHR(34) & 
"mailto:[email protected]" & Chr(34) &
">send mail to alejandro</a>"

Which results in a hyperlink to the specified mail address that executes your default E-Mail client to send the mail.

Let me know if this helps.
