Hi,

I have a drag and drop feature using a listview on my userform. I am trying to drag and drop emails from outlook to my excel userform. I am not very familiar with the MSComctlLib.DataObject type and its actually a bit more complicated as I thought. I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for how to use this to capture outlook email contents. I am trying to get the email contents, receive date, contacts, etc. I am familiar with mailitem object which can pull all of this information with functions but I do not know how MSComctlLib.DataObject relates to mailitem.

So far here is my code:

Code:
Private Sub LvDropEmaileHere_OLEDragDrop(Data As MSComctlLib.DataObject, Effect As Long, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    MsgBox "test" 'This works
    
End Sub

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
