    Cannot drag and drop text from Internet Explorer into InfoPath

    After Windows 7 security update KB2559049 (9 August 2011) I cannot drag and drop text from Internet Explorer (IE8/9) to Microsoft InfoPath (2007/2010).
    After implementing the solution of setting key 2708 and 2709 to 0 for all the internet security zones, I still have this problem. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581921).
    By the way, drag and drop text from website to website does work after this update.
    Is there a way to enable drag and drop text from Internet Explorer to Microsoft InfoPath? Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi Corne1977,

    This is the first time I have heard of this issue. In general, dragging and dropping from IE to InfoPath will require that the HTML tables match. It's possible that there is some extra tag which is throwing it off now. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Sure sounds like a Windows update regression though.

    Since this security update we encounter the same problem in our company. We cannot drag and drop text from our knowledge base (in HTML Application) to the InfoPath Forms. The workaround for now, is to drag and drop the text to Excel and than drag and drop the text to the Infopath form. But this costs a lot of extra work. We urgently are looking for a solution.

    We already tried a lot of keys in the Windows Registry to solve this problem, but we cannot fix the problem. Doe anyone have a clue to solve this serious problem?
