I will try and make this as simple as possible. Let's say We have a list of
names and they are listed in a specific order. Not based on alphabet etc... I
need to move the order of those names around quite often. I would like to be
able to create a form that lists the names and then if I drag one above the
other it would re order them that way. Is this possible and if so how? What
do I need to learn in order to achieve this?
Thanks for your help.

Access is not very good at drag-n-drop. Rather provide a MoveUp and
MoveDown button. If you like you can set the AutoRepeat property of
the buttons to True.

Access has nothing built-in to allow manual re-ordering of items in a
list via drag and drop. There are some third-party tools that may
help:

A shareware version of a product I created called Drag-N-Dropper for
Microsoft Access is available at this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/dd.htm

Stephen Lebans has an example of a FieldList control that supports
drag and drop: http://www.lebans.com/vb_listbox.htm , however I don't
know if this supports reordering.

Hope this helps,
