The Animated GIF ActiveX Control works great.
  1. From the Attachment, Copy Gif89.dll to the C:\Windows\System Directory.
  2. Register the ActiveX Control as follows:
    Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
    1. C:\Windows\System\Regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System\Gif89.dll
  3. Register the Control in Access:
    1. Tools from Menu
    2. ActiveX Controls
    3. Click Register
    4. Change the File Type from .ocx to .dll
    5. Browse for Gif89.dll
    6. Choose Register
  4. Open a Form in Design View:
    1. Insert from Main Menu
    2. ActiveX Control
    3. Choose Gif89 Class
    4. This will place a Gif Object on your Form
  5. The last Property of this Control is File Name
  6. Enter the Absolute Path to the Animated Gif that you wish to use
P.S. - There are many, free Animated Gifs available for download on the Internet.

You can display Animated GIFs in a Form via an ActiveX Control, as well as simple Animation with Native Controls.

Be advised that if you are going to incorporate the Animated GIF on multiple Front Ends, you must Register the Control individually on all the PCs.
Sep 21 '11 #9
Right! works fine once the dll is registered.
One more point...
File of the Animated Gif in relative address
(meaning a network one) works fine.
As an URL not. Did you know if possible?
or for this is the Web Browser Control
(original problem with this control is white bckgrnd)

Sep 21 '11 #11

Are you receiving a Path not found Error when using a URL?
  1. Download the Animated GIF.
  2. Set the Embed Property of the Animqated GIF to Yes.
  3. Delete the File Name Reference.
  4. Is this practical, why the URL Reference?
Sep 22 '11 #13
with the intention to show it in forms like an splash, in this way as an URL can change the animation.

URL Don´t give an error simply doesn´t run

Kindly display the URL that you are attempting to use.

I'm not sure if you will ever get the URL to work, but here is the Name of the Creator of this ActiveX Control. I suggest you contact him for further advice.

Sorry NeoPa, but the Creator of this ActiveX Control lists his E-Mail Address along with the freely distributable Control (Animated GIF - Gif98.dll).
