Is it possible to add a .gif to an Access Form. I would like to show the animation. When I import the .gif onto the Form, all that I get is the generic windows icon.
Thanks for your help.

It is possible, first you obtain a gif driver that must be loaded into your windows system file. Then you must register the driver. After that all you do is insert the gif file into a form using the full address of where it resides.

I have posted all the information you need to do this at Candace Tripp's web site. I have also included the needed .dll file you will need to do this. Read all the instructions carefully pertaining to using your app on another machine. You must place a copy of the .dll and register it on all machines concerned.

Here is a link to the site. "Click" on MS Downloads on the left side.
