Drag and Drop interface is it possible (1 Viewer)

It is popular for web based project management systems to use a Kanban board to display actions. So a task would have a status field with for example: assigned, WIP, solved, closed etc. The GUI would display four columns and the tasks would be listed according to their status. To change a status a user would simply drag a task from one column to another. The status of the record would be changed and it would remain in the new column.

Is such a thing possible in Access?

Short answer is yes - you would probably need to use the mouse down and up events. Also review the undocumented acchittest function to determine the control below the cursor in the mouse up event. From this you can determine what action you need to take to update the records

You can do this using GDI. see Access Gantt Chart for a demo. This demo is a Gantt chart but pivot and the same principles apply to a Kanban board

Alessandro Grimaldi has published on a book on creating interfaces of the type you describe. You can find examples of his work on YouTube.
