Well I found this little piece of freeware (actually it was referred to me from a guy on a Swish Forum). It helps you create animated tours of your software

It does a great job of capturing screens and mouse moves. It has nice built in annotations capabilities and is easy to use.

Great stuff JS.
This becomes very handy when documenting databases.
Just tried one and in doing so, one can go thru the dbase and capture all forms, reports etc.
Using the render and view render output you can guide all users thru all petit secrets of the application.

Cheers, Ron

This is fantastic, I have just started compiling a pdf help tutorial for a product but this is going to be far more professional.

Thanks jsanders! :)

or a shareware one - http://www.geovid.com/Screen_VidShot
(don't know what's the difference between these 2 programs)

You guys should add these to the free software thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=104362) (I've also added CamStudio (http://www.brothersoft.com/Multimedia_Graphics_Screen_Capture_CamStudio_3944. html) which does the above as well ;))
