[AccessD] A2K: Drag and Drop with Access

I was able to create a drag and drop process with TreeViews....in VB.
Worked great....no clue what tricks I used, I do remember that when you
dragged a file from windows explorer, into the user's file treeview (It was
a treeview that showed folders and files of a 'remote' machine (no shares)),
that the dropped object was just a filename, not actually the file (of
course now I would say 'duh!' to that, but back then I was baffled! <grin>

Drag and drop could be very useful, Charlotte.  As useful as in any
other application.

For example, I worked for a company that had a variable compensation
product.  If we could have allowed the users to assign people or
department to different compensation plans by dragging and dropping
the person or group's name over to a folder (or something) for the
appropriate plan, everyone would have been ecstatic.

Just one instance where I can see it would be useful.

Sadly, we never pulled it off.

I worked for another company that managed to hack out a fair
drag-n-drop in an Access 2000 app, but I never got to look at the
code.
