In my contact management Access database I would like to click or double click on a phone number and have it dialed through Skype. Is there a way to register Skype so that Windows will recognize it as the outgoing dialing program.
Alternatively is there a way to create a Macro in Access that will do the autodialing.
Thanks for any help.

You might want to look at Access documentation about using a hyperlink in a field, you could do this by using the "Skype:" URI, much like one would do via a web page.

"skype:+13125551212?call"

Don't currently run Access, I use Open Office, but it should be able to support a macro that can convert a phone number field in Access to the format above, so that when you click on it, it starts a call.
