You shouldn't need to use Tracking and Mouse.X/Y to drop text into a TextArea at the position you desire. Notice that the 
TextArea's text cursor follows the mouse cursor. Just position the mouse over where you want to drop the text and let go of the 
mouse button. If you want the text on a new line use "TextArea1.Insert(gb.NewLine & Drag.Data)".

BTW, Benoît, the DragMove event does not appear to fire when dragging inside a TextArea with Drop = True. Maybe I did something 
wrong.
