Suggestions on how to create a scheduler in Microsoft Access

I have been given the task of creating a scheduler for a POS program my
company sells. They are currently using the Microsoft FlexGrid as the
crux of the design. However, I want to be able to incorporate drag and
drop capabilities into my design and I do not believe the FlexGrid
lends itself to such behavior. Basically, the schedule is a
spreadsheet with the days of the week on the top, the time on the left
and the appointment somewhere in the middle. I want the user to be
able to drag an appointment from one cell to another. I am toying with
the idea of creating an individual text box for each cell, but this
would be horrible to maintain. Can anyone suggest a good control or
controls for accomplishing this task? Thank you.

So far as I can see, this question has nothing to do with Access.

re: Suggestions on how to create a scheduler in Microsoft Access

I'm sure someone must have implemented Drag & drop on
the flexi-grid before. Perhaps you could try asking
in a VB group? Perhaps microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

Access supports cut & paste for data fields, but not really
drag & drop. If you've got the FlexGrid running well,
I'd stick with that until you find something better.
