MitchellVII,

Not to be-little your accomplishment, but Free custom drag and drop functionality in Access has been around for quite a while,:
;-)

Even MS has a technique:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287642

Here is the google search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=microsoft+Access+drag+and+drop

Drag and drop code is also available in many of the Access "Bible" type books:
(Again, pretty much free)

Have you analyzed all of these products\techniques and determined that your method is really unique?

The developer who helped me get started in programming even modified some code he found, to do drag and drop between forms and Report while maintaining the associated code.


With the advent of the web, google, p2p, global competition, ...ect., is actual quite difficult to make money on developing anything.
Almost everything a developer would need is available for free.

I'll give you one great example:
FMSinc is a company that markets high end developer products (at a premium price)
They have a product "Code tools": http://www.fmsinc.com/vb6/CodingTools.html
($200USD)

Most of what Code Tools does, MZtools does for free! (http://www.mztools.com/v3/mztools3.aspx)

Almost everything at the Lebans site is unique and free!
Another example:
I have been on EE for over four years now.
I have seen some incredibly complex and intricate solutions posted by some of the top experts here.
Any one of these solutions could have been considered as "marketable".

Most of the top experts here do not sell anything, they make money developing.

Besides, if hackers can break into government computers, they can surely decipher an Access custom add-in, template, wizard or dll file
There are tools that will reverse engineer anything.

< Even though I wrote it (more like cobbled it together),>
...So you want to market a "Cobbled together" app?
Do you have robust error handling?
Do you have real technical documentation on how to implement it?
Will you provide support?
Will it work in all Versions of Access including 2007?

jjafferr is being modest, he is one of those "Top experts" I spoke of.
He has blown me away with some of his posts.
He is correct the ActiveX might be the best way.
Here is my favorite "free, (hint... hint) tutorial on creating ActiveX controls:
http://www.developer.com/net/vb/article.php/1539541

Again, I am not trying to be-little your accomplishment, or convince you not to pursue this, but like jjafferr states, people will "Borrow" your code all the time.
Unless you have created some custom algorithm that no one else has thought of or can duplicate, you really cant stop someone from using it.
Unless you patent it and are prepared to fight (Financially!) every violator. (Even if they are in Taiyuan, China or Nikolsk, Russia)

Most things like this I do for personal advancement (ex.: my linked/Static Table converter or Custom Database search tool)
It increases my own personal knowledge base and makes me feel good!
;-)

Good luck with this endeavor!
