You probably want to aim this question at JimB. I remember him saying that you can get a set of file handles from the oDataObject by using something like

oDataObject.getFormat(CF_FILES, @laFiles)

but when I tried to get it to work, I couldn't find an object that would enable itself for that OLE type. The help on OLE drag and drop lists the types that are available for eah control, and CF_FILES (15) was not available for any runtime controls.
