Use copy ([Ctrl]+[C]) and then paste ([Ctrl]+[V]) or learn
Visual Basic!

One other possibility is to POINT to an event and have
code copy or cut the information, and then have the user
POINT to where they want it to go. You'll use the OnEnter
and OnExit properties to run code that basically has a
variable set to the info, and then when you click on
another control, have Access paste the variable's data.
You'll have to play with it some to get it to do what you
want. Don't be surprised if you find you have to program
many lines of code into each control. It's not drop and
drag, but it will accomplish the same task.

email me if you have to.

Access has nothing built-in to allow dragging and dropping between
listboxes. There are some third-party tools that may help:

A shareware version of Drag-N-Dropper for MS Access is available at this web
site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/dd.htm

Stephen Lebans has an example of a FieldList control that supports drag and
drop: http://www.lebans.com/vb_listbox.htm

The Forms Sample database provided by Microsoft has an example called
"Simulating Drag-And-Drop Capabilities". You can download the sample
database here:

Hope this helps,
