one question first before I try help you out - why does your signature say jmcilhinney but it links to someone else's profile (scootabug or someone) ?

Anyway, with that out of the way :) I needed to do this not long ago so when I get home I'll dig out the code I used. A quick google search found this though, however I'm sure thats not the way I did it before.

vb Code:

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
        Select Case m.Msg
            Case WM_NCHITTEST
                MyBase.WndProc(m)
                If m.Result = HTCLIENT Then m.Result = HTCAPTION
                'If m.Result.ToInt32 = HTCLIENT Then m.Result = IntPtr.op_Explicit(HTCAPTION) 'Try this in VS.NET 2002/2003 if the latter line of code doesn't do it... thx to Suhas for the tip.
            Case Else
                'Make sure you pass unhandled messages back to the default message handler.
                MyBase.WndProc(m)
        End Select
    End Sub

You place this code at class level in your form (meaning it does not go in any existing Sub or Function) and then the whole form area should be 'draggable'. See if it does what you want.
