Drag & Drop

[Warrio]

Hello!

Is it possible to have the functionality of drag and drop information?
for instance, to drag a record and put it in another form using the mouse
only?

Thanks for any suggestion or advice!

You don't put records in forms. Records are stored in tables.

But you can't drag and drop records in Access.

Thanks your for the information!
what I meant by record is to drag an information from an access form
the information could be a texbox object or take it from the record selector

So how can we do drag a text displayed on a form to another form? like you
do in other softwares..

Thanks again

You can't. You can copy and paste it.

It's possible to program similar functionality to drag & drop where you
would select a record on a form & click a "grab" button & then change focus
to the target form & click a "drop" button, but it's probably not worth the
effort unless you have a specific reason for doing so.

Hy LGC,
Thanks for your answer, why I wanted to do that is to simplify use of my
forms.. besides the functionality that I have already with 2 buttons
[CopyToForm1] and [CopyToForm2]

if the use of the mouse is just not possible, than it's fine, I'll manage
without it
Thanks again!

Warrio,

LGC didn't say it's not possible. He/she said it's a lot of effort
