Ladies and Gents

I am wondering if when i run my report is there anyway that the detail of the report can become objects that say i could drag and drop into a Word Doc for example. I am trying to create a tool that will allow me to see all jobs from our maintenance mangement system at work, i have managed to achieve this but i was wanting to be able to view the jobs on a report and then basically just drag them into something else and wahey i have built my plan for the week.

Maybe i am hoping for to much but i though i would ask anyway.

Drag and drop isn't a very good way of working with data in a database. You should be able to use a query to export the data from Access or run a query to import the data from Access while in Word or Excel or any other product that supports ODBC, DDE, or OLE.
