[AccessD] Generic Procedure on form controls for Drag and Drop

Hi John,

Welcome to the list.

Instead of  "=TxtBoxDblClick([Txt101])", you can just use ="TxtBoxDblClick()" and then in 
TxtBoxDblClick,  just refer to Me.ActiveControl.   

You can do the same with your other functions.

You can make your Up/Down/Move functions even more generic you using something like:

Select Case Left$(me.activeControl.Name,3)
   Case "txt" ' It's a text box
     ...
   Case "cbo"  'It's a combobox
   ...

You can store Button,Shift/X/Y in variables local to the form
Dim intBtn As Integer
Dim sngX As Single
Dim sngY As Single
Dim intShift As Integer

and populate these in the MouseDown
