I'm having a problem with the drag and drop code from MVPS API: Drag and Drop
from Explorer. The form loads fine and copies the file location as it is
dropped. However, it the form is 'stuck' and won't respond to any else
besides dropping files to it. I've made a couple modifications, but
everything looks like it should work properly. I'm hoping you'll be able to
find the piece that I'm overlooking. Thanks for your help!
