Question Drag and Drop between Databases

[Roger Reinsch]

I've been developing several databases. Some elements that were experimental are now going "live". My development environment is Access 2010 on Windows 7 Pro. The "live" environment is also Access 2010 but running on Windows Vista SP2.

In development, I can drag tables, queries, etc. from one database to another by dropping them in the navigation column. When I try that on the "live" environment, it doesn't seem to work.

Is this a knownh difference between Windows 7 and Vista? Is this some sort of "trusted database" issue?
It is lots easier to drag and drop than using the Import External Data process so I'd like it to work.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

sounds like you need to enable drag and drop in Vista.

Is your system split? Like, do you have your tables in one file on a server, and your forms, reports, queries, and so on, in a front end file?
