Vidar,
Haven't tested before but this should be possible. Normally _screen doesn't get dragdrop events but shape does. You could add a transparent shape on _screen. As you dragdrop you could :
-Get oSource.Parent.Parent.Recordsource
-Change datasess as necessary
-Scatter to an object
-Add a subclassed container with an image + array property to hold 'record' as its own object.
Just an idea :)
