SYMPTOMS
========
When using the SetData method for OLE Drag/Drop functionality, data in a
user-defined format will cause the following message to be displayed at run-
time:
"Non-intrinsic OLE drag-and-drop formats used with SetData require Byte array
data. GetData may return more bytes than were given to SetData."
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this behavior, make sure that the data being dragged is placed
into a byte array. Decoding the byte array using the GetData is then dependent
upon the methods by which this array was created.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
