Drag & Drop Access Database Objects

This video shows two methods of using drag and drop with any Access database object.
1. Create Access object shortcuts on the desktop - click shortcut to open the database directly to that object - saves time!
2. Transfer objects from one open database to another. Usually much easier than using the wizard to import objects. Extra care needed with linked tables
Both methods work with any Access object and have been available since Access 97 (24 years ago) BUT it seems that many experienced developers are not aware of one or both features.

I now have a linked web article on this topic: https://www.isladogs.co.uk/drag-drop-objects/

TIMES:
0:00 Intro - two methods of using drag and drop
0:11 Method 1: Access desktop shortcuts
0:20 Drag object from navigation pane to desktop to create shortcut
1:02 Double click to open database directly to that object e.g. table
1:19 Shortcut right click context menu options - open/design/preview/print
1:35 Query/form/report shortcuts
1:53 Module code shortcut
2:10 Why do this? e.g. useful during presentation for quick access to specific objects
2:26 Method 2: Transfer objects between 2 open databases
2:41 Drag objects from one navigation pane to the other
2:53 Select multiple objects at once using Ctrl or Shift keys
3:10 If transferred object already exists, dialog box appears asking what should happen
3:21 CARE: Linked tables always transferred as local tables which you may not want
3:51 Work-round: Repeat the transfer and tell Access to overwrite as linked table
4:23 Very useful feature but very few developers know about it.
