>Just to demo how the various PEMs interact, I set up a checkbox as a drop target and added code so that if you dropped text on it, its caption would change. (Yeah, not all that relevant in real life, but a slick demo.) When I got it working, I found that the form would no longer close. Instead I got the error "File cannot be closed because outstanding references exist."

Just a wild hunch... what if you reset OLEDropHasData after the caption change? Perhaps it opens the file, and then perhaps resetting it would also close it.
