Thanks for the tip Alan that was it, it's so cool when you get something working the way you want it to. Forgive the long delay on responding I got side tracked onto an unrelated problem I hope to get back to this project sometime soon.

Thanks again for the help,
Linn

>Sounds like you're not setting the dragicon property properly. When you don't, the drag uses an outline of the treeview and it looks like the whole treeview is being dragged. Your drag/drop operation should still work, but it looks weird.

>>Thanks Doug, I looked up your whitepaper and looked at the example and that helps a lot. I tried your techneque but when I try to drag a selected node the whole treeview object moves. It's like instead of picking up the node it picks up the treeview object. Now I'm using VFP 6 and I selected the version 6 treeview control whereas I noticed you used the version 5 which is different. Is there that much difference? I poured over the properties but didn't see anything obvious. Have you seen this type of behavior?

>>Thanks again for helping me with this problem I really appreciate it. Beyond the twips issue this seems like a rather straight forward task but it's sure challenging me.
