Click Feature To Allow Click and Drag
Hello Experts,
One of my potential clients wants a feature in Access that will allow him to Click and Drag records represented by a Grid - like a Flex Grid or Data Grid - into an order of his choice. Then, that order should be saved the way it is and the records can then be printed.
The feature should be something like the Tab Order dialog box that one gets when a Form is in Design View and from the View Menu the Tab Order option is selected. You know how a user can Click and Drag the Custom Order area to re-arrange the order in which the control's selection wll flow? A similar kind of feature is required but with a Grid (Flex Grid or Data Grid) bound to a table so that the underlying records can be arranged using Click and Drag and then that order can be saved.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Many Thanks,

Hello DatabaseMX,
Will the In-House License ($35.95) give me access to the source code? I suppose some compromises can be made, however, I'll need access to the source code so that I can understand what the code does and then tailor that to the current scenario.

Yes ... for sure. But, it's pretty complex ... so be careful. I suggest not changing it, because Peter come out with new versions frequently .... but that's your call.
It's seriously cool. Be sure to check out the Listbox Reordering demo. I put that to good use!
