Got drag and drop functionality working great... but how does one get
information about the source of the drag operation?

For instance, can I tell it came from an open Word document and obtain
the filename? Can I tell is came from a browser and get the URL?

Is that even possible?

walt,

I don't think you can do that.

Well, rats. I was hoping my code could at least act differently based
on where the drag'n'drop data came from. I haven't been able to find
any extra meta-data carried with the data either. That would have been
really handy.

Thanks much.
