You can do it! Animated Gifs in Access

[John Denton]

Finally a way to place animated gifs in an access db.

It isn't very friendly but it works well.

I must be a knucklehead, but I couldn't get it to work. I follwed the directions (exactly) and placed the control on the form and embedded an animated gif in the box. When I went to form view - nothing showed.

Any suggestions?

You know it took me a couple of tries too. I don't know why either but some gifs work while others just return a black box.

If anybody out there knows why this happens I would love to know.
