I'm sure everyone in this newsgroup knows this, but a Google query
didn't turn up a recent notice on it in this newsgroup or anywhere
else.
I was astounded today to learn that I could drag and drop a table or
query from one Access instance to another. That is, I had to mdb files
open, and I was able to do a copy by drag and drop. No import/export.
I've been wasting minutes for years.
I queried Access help files and I didn't find it documented there. I
tried various modifier keys and I couldn't create a link, only a copy.
Does everyone know this?
Access annoys me very often, but this was a nice surprise for a change.
Sorry if this is old hat.
