Drag & Drop Docs Form (.doc,.pdf,etc) and Automatically Copy File to Windows Folder

I have been looking for months now and can't find a sample database or a step to the right direction for creating an Access Form form that I can drag and drop .doc, .xls, .pdf files into it and having the form automatically copy the file to a windows directory and create a link within form (record) to the copied file. Hopefully even rename the file. I am trying to create a paperless database. I am using Microsoft Access 2002.

Can anybody help me?

Not sure about the drag an drop feature you want but you can do the rest of what you want. You need to design a custom browser into your database. Check out my old Browse [Find a directory or file] sample to see how easy it is to do and use.
