A clue in your message was reference to "different program". if yo're doing
a drag and drop from one program (open window) to another, both windows have
to be visible on screen. What I normally do is use the window resize
function to place each program window in a different place on screen. In
fact, I place them side-by-side each occupying half the screen - one on the
left half, and the other on the right.
press VO shift tilda to bring up the window resize menu, then select resize
and move to section. Move one program to the left half section, and the
other to the right half section.
\
Now try the drag and drop. I find it's very particular about dragging from
one window to another, and it doesn't always work for me this way either,
but this has helped in the past.

Subject: Drag and Drop Problem.
Hello everyone,
I hope this message is finding everyone well.
I have tried several times to execute the drag and drop feature, but to no
avail.
I have used VO-comma to select my items, then move to the application
table I want to drop the items into.
Each time I either try to drop the items onto the table directly or
interact with the table and dry to drop the items by using VO-period, I
get the message that "the item is no longer drag able."
I have also tried invoking the mouse click function, but this does not
work either.
A caveat to all this is that each time I attempt to drag and drop a series
of contiguous items into a different program's table, I must force finder
to relaunch because the downloads folder becomes disabled from being able
to close or select items.
This is somewhat frustrating because I do not want to have to select each
item individually and both of the aforementioned features have worked well
before.
I welcome any suggestions - thanks.
