Okay, thanks to Matthew Mcdermott for setting me straight. He pointed out that the drag and drop support comes from Office 2010. AHA! I was about to tell him, I don&#8217;t have Office 2010 installed\u2026 but alas, I do (kinda). I have Office 2007 but have also installed locally, SharePoint Designer 2010, which provides in the installer, the SharePoint Office Components. This does present an interesting option though \u2013 If you have MOSS 2007, and Office 2007 \u2026 but want to drag and drop into SharePoint libraries \u2026 you could (should? Would?) download and install SharePoint Designer 2010 for free, and wrap that feature into your abilities without having a SharePoint 2010 or Office 2010 install. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, stumbled across this today. \u00a0And I think I understand what happened\u2026 \u00a0 \u00a0 I have a SP2010 Server that I&#8217;ve been exploring.\u00a0 The related controls\/components are in my IE client (IE8). \u00a0 \u00a0 Since then, when I visit my production MOSS 2007 Server where my real data is, if I choose &#8220;Upload Multiple Documents&#8221;, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[337,14,334,339],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Drag and drop in MOSS 2007 Document Libraries? - Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Drag and drop in MOSS 2007 Document Libraries? - Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Ok, stumbled across this today. \u00a0And I think I understand what happened\u2026 \u00a0 \u00a0 I have a SP2010 Server that I&#8217;ve been exploring.\u00a0 The related controls\/components are in my IE client (IE8). \u00a0 \u00a0 Since then, when I visit my production MOSS 2007 Server where my real data is, if I choose &#8220;Upload Multiple Documents&#8221;, &hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-03-05T13:23:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sean Wallbridge\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/\",\"name\":\"Drag and drop in MOSS 2007 Document Libraries? - Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2010-03-05T13:23:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2010-03-05T13:23:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/#\/schema\/person\/74e1c0def190f181c1394c2b6d883e77\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"http:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/2010\/03\/05\/drag-and-drop-in-moss-2007-document-libraries\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Brainlitter\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Drag and drop in MOSS 2007 Document Libraries?\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/brainlitter\/\",\"name\":\"Brainlitter - Inside the mind of Sean Wallbridge\",\"description\":\"Dad.
