Is there a way to setup something like a list box to allow users to move
items within the list box up or down by using the mouse (Drag and Drop
method)?
 
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:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;175066

Hope this helps,
 
As Peter mentioned, Access is somewhat limited with regard to drag drop support

If you are open to use of commercial components,
you may want to consider our TList control.

By setting a single property, AutoDragDrop,
TList will handle drag and drop within a single list
or even between multiple lists.

TList can be used as a Listbox as well as a Tree ,
Grid, or Tree/Grid control.

TList is easy to Use, Fast, and Reliable.

We have recently expanded our support for Access developers
and added several Access Sample projects to our installation kit.


Visit our web site ( www.Bennet-Tec.Com?TList.htm )
or drop me a note if you are interested.
I would be happy to send details, answer any questions.
