I had a pretty nice running version within '97, but this one used 'AddrOf'
function, which doesn't work anymore in newer access versions. As far as I
looked through the access vba docs I could not find any replacement for
this. Due to the fact I like the access application programming more than
any other ms ide, I would really appreciate to have this function running
again.

Is there a possibility to get the information from "DragQueryFiles" into
visual basic strings for later storage in data tables? I want to drag and
drop image files onto the access form to store these "links" into a database
table.

Any help welcome,
best regards, Oliver.
 
A2K or higher natively support AddressOf for which AddrOf was a nice
hack/sub for A97.
