Moving text and data with drag and drop
You can use drag and drop to transfer information within a FileMaker Pro database, between databases, or between FileMaker Pro and other applications that support drag and drop.
For example, you can drag a number or text from one field and drop it into another field in the same database. Or, you can drag text from a Microsoft Word document into a FileMaker Pro text field. You can also drag and drop data between layouts, between container fields, and between layouts and container fields, either in the same database or between different databases.
In FileMaker Pro, you can use drag and drop in Browse mode, Find mode, or Layout mode.
Note  Drag and drop must be enabled in Preferences. See Setting general preferences.
