Rotating Logo?

[arkres]

A2K is what I have so there shouldn't be any problems.
OK, lets try this...

1. Create a new form
2. insert the .gif control (Insert >> ActiveX Control)
3. right click on the control and select properties
4. scroll down to the very last command line and enter the full path and file name of the ani.gif

if all's registered, that should be ok

HTH

Nope. I may have messed up the registration process, although all appeared to be fine......I'll try again and let you know.......Thanks for your "live" assistance and have a great day!!!!

No probs, hope you get it sorted
Let me know

Cheers

You could convert the animated gif to an avi and try this function to play it.

Which software converts gifs to AVI?

My attached sample should give you a start on how to add animation to your db. Check out the "fAccessWorldForums" form in my sample. I copied the Access World forum graphic and rotated the graphic a few times and saved each file. I cheated by not reducing the number of degrees for which I rotated the graphic for this demonstration so the result looks a little choppy but you should be able to see what I am trying to demonstrate. I suggest rotating your graphic every 30 degrees and save each rotation as another file for a smoother animated effect.

I downloaded your zip file but the .mdb won't open with what I'm using which is quite old (Access 7 / Win98 PC). I've experienced this a few times previously and assume files created with current versions of Access aren't backward compatible. I guess if the file was saved in an old version then anyone with an old version could view it.

The sample I posted is in the Access 97 file format.
