Animated GIFs on a form

[postmanphat]

Using Access 2003.

I've got some animated gifs that I would like on a form. The problem is when I embed them on the form, it is just displaying the first frame of the animated gif, whereas I want it to 'play' on loop (as they do when viewing in web page or windows picture and fax viewer).

Any ideas???

Many thanks in advance

There is also a FAQ on this site:

Thanks for that Zor... I've got the ActiveX control installed and registered etc. I've put in the filename at the bottom of the controls properties, but when you go to form view it looks like there is nothing there where the control should be.

Never mind... thanks anyway!
