Drag-n-Drop Images

Wow, that whole iPad thing sure has taken off. Drag this here, drag that there, you know, it's a whole lot of dragging goin' on.

Why not do the same in your FileMaker database. Nope, there's no iPad native version of FileMaker (yet?), but this shouldn't stop you. There are a lot of things you can do in your interface when you consider drag-n-drop as an option.

Watch this video to see a very effective method for performing data manipulation within your interface. Import a few images, create a few portals and start to drag away. If you didn't know FileMaker could do this, then you'll certainly enjoy what you'll find in this video.

Adding a clean and efficient visual interface to your FileMaker solution will certainly give it that 21st century Web 2.0 look and feel!

I can't seem to get Dragging Images right, despite despite a number of hours of effort.
with your video ad example file
As always I love your structural approach -- get the architecture right and let it do the work.

I tried to make a clone of Matt's -- see file below -- but haven't been able to get it to work.
suggestions greatly appreciated.

Additional question: why is the selected_team a text field while team_ID is a number?
