I need to implement Drag-and-Drop functionality on an MS Access form, to
Drag (FileName and FullPath) from a Windows Explorer 'LookandFeel'
interface, to Drop on an Access Recordset Subform for associating a File
with a Record in a Table. I'd appreciate any suggestions about how to do
that. (I guess I should admit that I posted this question here on 3/2/2007
at 2:53 PM PST, and no one replied. Is it wrong/bad/against the rules/in bad
taste to post it again, in the hopes that this time it will attract the
interest of someone who has a suggestion? If so, please tell me so that I
don't do this again.)

Thanks,

Marceepoo

Access does not natively support Drag-Drop functionality. If you search
GoogleGroups, a MS employee posted code several years ago to accomplish your
goal.
