I now realize that the item being dragged is what sets the icon but I can't figure out how I am supposed to know what container it is over so I can change the pointer. Anyone got any sample code or can point me to some?

In particular, whenever you drag over something, both the drag source's OLEGiveFeedback and the drop target's OLEDragOver methods fire, giving you a chance to decide what to do.

Tamar,
thanks for the input. You said the same thing when I started this project and I'm sure correct. The problem is that the non OLE method is much easier to work with (for me, anyway). This project has a short time limit. Otherwise, I would have taken the time to learn OLE drag and drop.
Thanks,
John.
