drag & drop: how to:

[rocco]

Hello,
I have seen a database with a form with a control on it where user can drag
& drop other files from desktop or other locations and the file was then
saved into the database. Could someone give me some more deep explanation on
how to implement this feature? Would this require other than VBA knowledge?
Thanks,
rocco

Take a look at
http://accessblog.net/2007/04/drag-and-drop-in-access.html

also, if your simply google the term 'MS Access Drag and Drop' you'll get a
multitude of website that talk about this very subject.

See whether what I had in my January, 2004 "Access Answers" column in
Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access" is enough to get you going. You can
read the article on-line at http://www.vb123.com/kb/200401_ds_drag.htm or
you can download the column (and sample database) for free at
