Just re-read your post and realized that it's the drag and drop you're looking for, not saving the image.

However, there is a drag and drop implented in a test version of a form provided at install which I have tested back in 5.0 and found it to work pretty well. I went looking for it but don't have it anymore, but MetaLink says it is available if you install the demos in 6i (5.0 may be the same). The demo form is dragdrop.fmb and uses the library drag.pll.
