Can you do a drag and drop operation on a subfile grid that is database driven? If so can you point me in the right direction?

Honestly, I've never tried nor even thought of doing a drag/drop from a db-driven grid.

Trying to think my way through it... what would be the point?

Normally, a drag/drop notifies the program which row was dragged, and the program then changes the screen based on the data in that row. But, in the case of db-driven grid, the program doesn't have direct access to the grid (since it comes directly from a file, not a program) so the row number would be meaningless to it.

I guess I'm just not understanding the scenario. Can you explain how you would use this?
