[AccessD] A2K: Drag and Drop with Access

Hi Charlotte and others
I have an ID Card design program I am creating. Currently I move the X Y co-ord of any 
control (say the ID Photo control) with sliders. It works and is OK but I want something easier.
It would be much easier to simply click and drag the control where it needs to go for the ID Card Design.

Like I said I have found heaps of VB versions of drag and drop but VB has events especially designed for
this but Access does not.
I have found some code I can apply to Access that lets me click on a control and I can move the 'whole form'
as if I grabbed the caption bar, but alas dragging only the control is  being elusive.

I will share it with the list once I get it to work though :-)

Many thanks in advance

Darren
