Hi barbara1712,

Did you verify before you pushed the email address to the export script that it was formatted properly? If so, did you go through the export script to see if it escapes or strips anything; this, particularly for your email data?

To create a html based email link you have to do something like

  
<a href="mailto:barbara@example.com?Subject=Hi%20this%20is%20Barbara,">

Steve

Thanks ServerStorm for reply.

I have used http://www.appservnetwork.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8 for creating excel through php. If I used <a href=“”> then in the excel cell, is is not displayed as a link but the code itself.

Please help me out how can I display the hyperlink.

In excel sheet file, if we type an email address, then it gets hyperlinked automatically.
