Where:    Visual Basic for Windows 2.0

The app:  A simple program that monitors a directory which holds
	  newly arrived mail.  When new mail arrives the icon
          changes to a mailbox with the falg up and optionally
	  sounds the WAV file of my choice.

The problem:  I would like to extend the application to accept files dropped 
	  from File Manager.  These files would then be used in a form 
          that I have written which delivers outbound mail.  The outbound
          mailer seems to work fine but I can't get the minimized VB
	  app to accept files.  I've tried all variations of the DRAGDROP
          capabilities in VB but to no avail.  

The plan: Does anyone know of a VBK or external DLL that will allow me
	  to trigger the DragAcceptFile doohicky so that I can
	  DragQueryFile and do my mail thing?

Many Thanks
