    Distinguish between keyboard input & drag & drop into a control


    Access 2013.
    I have a form with a memo field where I can drop emails from Outlook. How can I distinguish between a drop and a keyboard input in any of the control's event handlers?

    Regards
    Peter

    I would use the ON MOUSE UP event on the memo box.

    Thanks, but that would require global flags. My goal is to either clearly distinguish between keyboard input and a drop or have one event handler for the keyboard and one for the drop.
