Email link in an action not showing up when displayed via web page.
Hello. I have a custom report with a non-functioning email link as an action. We are using Sharepoint 2010, Sql Server 2008 R2, and IE 9. I realize this might be a SharePoint question, but I am not certain. I have two reports. A Good report and a Bad Report. Both of them have an action that uses a mailto: command. When I embed both in a page I cannot get the email link in the Bad report to work anymore even though the action is exactly the same as the Good report. Plus what is weirder is that the bad report's email link works fine when viewed from the report server. Both reports have the hover-over dialog of "Send Email" but the Good report "gives me the finger" while the bad report maintains the standard pointer. Any thoughts?

Oh that's a good option, we were just using this formula: =IIF(InStr(Fields!Email.Value, "@") = 0, Nothing, "mailto:" + Fields!Email.Value) Anyways we were able to delete the column and recreate it and it works now. If the error keeps occurring I may switch it out with your formula. Thanks,
