Hi team

Does anyone know how I can determine the file name of a file after it has been
dragged from (say the desktop) to an RTF field I have on an Access form?

Basically I be will writing a reasonably simple import routine for a determined
file type

Normally I would have a text box on a form that stores the path and allow users
to invoke a browse dialogue box.

But I'd rather just let the user 'drag' the file and drop it onto a
pre-determined place (The RTF Field) on one of my forms - get the file name and
then perform the import routine as if the file name was added to some field by
the browse dialogue box

Make sense?
