Filename from drag N drop to Access form?

[Lerner]

Just wondering if there is a simple way to add a drag N drop area to an
Access form.

What I want to do is quickly add file names and paths to a table, linking to
a single row in another table. Typing or browsing can be tedious and if I
could simply drag the icon into my form and drop it we'd have a real
timesaver here.

Thanks!

Drag and Drop can be done, but it's a bit of a pain. Rather than that, why
not give your users the standard Windows File Open dialog box from which
they can select the file(s). See http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
