There are certain items that are not allowed to drag and drop in the SSIS
designer (BIDS 2005) but you can double click on the item in the toolbox and
it will appear on the design surface.

The items that do not allow you to drag and drop are like the Foreach Loop,
Sequence, DataFlow task, etc.

But you can drag and drop Execute SQL Task, Transfer Logins task, etc.

Is there anything that I would need to know as to why the drag and drop
facility would not be allowed?

Thanks.
