dropping files on a ICON or program is easy. use the command$ command for grabbing the files names.

To test it, chuck a label on a form and have the form load or sub main write Label1.caption = command$. I think the system throws the " chr around the path and file name. then compile and drag a file onto it, it opens and displays the file name. haven't tried multiple files but probably just delimited, easy to test.

Isn't a context menu just displaying a popup menu which is not displayed as a normal menu?

For bitmaps on menus, take a shortcut and get the controls from vbaccellerator (pardon the spelling) they have controls with source for popup menus too.

I thought you knew all this? is this an old post or something????

maybe I'm not understanding your questions, please re-write!

Why aren't you a GURU yet? I've seen other Guru's with only 1200 posts!
