API: Drag and Drop from Explorer to a text box

[ybg1]

Hi There,

The following code does the job, but some times when I try to open the form the computer freezes and I have to kill the process to get out of this situation.
I'm using Access 2003.

Any Idea what makes it to happen?



Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Call sEnableDrop(Me)
Call sHook(Me.Hwnd, "sDragDrop")
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Call sUnhook(Me.Hwnd)
End Sub
