>In a field in a grid there is the full path and name of files that are on the hard disk. I would like to drag the file named in that field to be a file attached in a message in Outlook. Can that be done and how?

Probably. You'll need to use OLE drag-and-drop and do something in the OLESetData method. You'll have to explore what exactly Outlook needs you to do.
