See if it works if you use a range test and not equality. Testing any date/time value for equality might always fail due to conversions from UTC to local time and rounding errors. Maybe test for a range of plus or minus a minute or two.

The items are not being dropped into Outlook: Outlook is the source of the
drag-and-drop operation, while my custom application is the target.

That said, I'm actually also doing what you're suggesting as a second method
of communicating with Outlook. I snag a reference to the Items collection of
the Inbox folder and watch messages as they arrive, handling the AddItem
method as they do. In this case, I don't need to disambiguate because I get a
referece to the actual Item itself in my event handler.

Back to drag and drop. As for using [ReceivedTime] in my filter expression,
yes, I tried to study the examples. I pared it down to just the very basics:

sReceived = Format("8/21/2007 3:27:38 AM", "ddddd h:nn AMPM")
Set itm = itms.Find("[ReceivedTime] = '" & sReceived & "'")

where the timestamp is literally what I get from Item.ReceivedTime, and the
the format expression is taken directly from the online docs and strips off
the seconds. Still, this search returns a null reference.

Any ideas?
