[AccessD] A2K:Get file name after drag and drop_SecondSend

Hi john
Thanks for the reply
I want a client to drag and drop file onto a field on one of my forms
I want to know if Access can determine the name of the file that was 'dropped'
on that form or field in some mouse up routine
So this is in order to get a value into MyControl.value

Many thanks
 
Darren

If the name is in a control, then MyControl.value should give you the contents
of that control.

Or am I missing something?
