drop attachment into vb, vb6, vba app

[dmcdivitt]

Dropping an attachment from GroupWise into a vb6 program fires the OLEDragDrop event. Two formats work with the GetFormat and GetData methods on the data object. Unfortunately, the integer values for these formats change when I reboot the machine, and they are not the same on other machines.

When the first drop is done I could do a discovery loop to see what works, then save those values, but there should be a better way.

Each of the formats returns a special data structure. One gives a list of file names in the temp folder where the selected attachments were extracted. The other gives details about extracted attachments such as size and original file name. Where is the record layout or data structure documented for these?

Thanks
