Hi Jay,

I sure hope it's possible, since that is exactly the problem I'm working on at the moment. Here are a couple of approaches you might consider:

A. let the target be a WebBrowser control, navigated to a directory in the file system
B. use OLE Drag-and-Drop to instantiate a class of VFP object resembling an icon

It looks to me as though the simplest choice for method B. would be to use a pictorial CommandButton, or perhaps an Image-based control. If those classes aren't satisfactory, a composite Container with an Image and a Label inside it seems like a plausible approach.
