My trackpad is no longer 'clicking', and I am unable to click and drag. Touch and tap still work, as well as other gestures, but the click and drag not working is a problem.

Is there an adjustment somewhere (don't see one in system settings for trackpad) that I am missing? Is a trackpad replacement an expensive operation? TIA....
 
There are settings under Accessibility in System Preferences that you can use to replace click and drag.

Thanks, Sanpete, found the 'three finger drag'. Now I probably need to schedule an appointment with Apple to see if it is a hardware issue (likely) and what it will cost to repair.
