ANIMATED CLIPART IN MS ACCESS
Define "animated clipart". An animated GIF?
To quote Stephen Lebans (whose decision to give up work in Access still causes us to wail and gnash our teeth) "The easiest method is to download a 3'rd party ActiveX control. For performance reasons, it's written in ATL and multithreaded, I like and have used this one. http://skyscraper.fortunecity.com/ca...2/activex.html For a listing of other controls have a look at: http://www.generation.net/~hleboeuf/gif.htm You can also use the MS Web Browser control. Check the currently installed ActiveX controls on your system. Finally, for those situations where you do not want to use an ActiveX control or just want to play a single Animated Gif as part of a splash screen there is code on my site to do this in native Access VBA. No 3'rd party DLL's required. The code is a bit dated now and does not include support for Local Color tables that my latest version in VB6 does. Update coming soon..it's my next project.(I've been saying this for 6 months now!) http://www.lebans.com/animatedgifplayer.htm" (Unfortunately, "coming soon" is not to be...) -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "AndrewDB" wrote in message ...
