[AccessD] Drag & Drop Utility

It's in the downloads section of http://databaseadvisors.com .  And it's
free.

I don't know if it was mentioned on a previous email.  Where can a person
get the drag and drop download?  What is the cost?

Thanks!

Yes the drag and drop just gives you the ability to 'move' things on the
screen
It is up to you to specify how you store 'the new coordinates'
In my 'in use' application I have fields in a table that hold the 
Top, Left, Height, Width for each control on my 'ID Card' design area.
So I have 8 controls on my ID card so I have 32 fields in my table that do
nothing but
hold the new coordinates for each move. On the mouse up I record where the
'Drop' 
finished and I put those 'coordinates' straight into the table.
When the ID Card design form is opened I get those coordinates and 'move' 
all the controls to where they were last dropped.

But there would be a myriad of ways to achieve this much more cleverly than
what I am doing

Make sense?

Hope this helps

Darren
