Dear All,
I have registered the GIF89 animation dll in the \windows\system using
regsvr32.exe.
I have also put a control of the same on the Access form which I have
created, and have linked the control to a GIF file created using Jasc
Animation program.
Unfortunately, the animation does not work.
Can anyone help me solve my problem.
Thanks in advance.
 
Don't know about GIF89 but Access use its own drawing system; so many of
these Active-X controls that work perfectly under VB6 won't work correctly
under Access.

Any other ActiveX components you know of which could help solve my problem.
Your efforts are highly appreciated.
Thanks.
 
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.

For a listing of other controls have a look at:

You can also use the MS Web Browser control. Check the currently
installed ActiveX controls on your system.

Yes, he is, but did you have to go telling him? We're trying to keep him
humble... <g, d & r>
 
I didnt know that - about the "keeping him humble" part that is! I just
thought he was fantastic! Here I was trying to do everything to get my
animations going on Access Forms, and here he comes and gives a solution
(given by you as well!), and it works straight out of the box!

Anyway all of you are sheer geniuses. It so appears that I shall always
remain a Genie Ass :(
 
It seems that as usual I am stuck with my dumb brain.
How can I display an animation in a Web Browser control in an Access Form. I
really searched hard for a clue within Access and Microsoft documentation
but to no avail. I can animate .avi files from within the Microsoft
Animation Control object in an Access Form.
Thanks.
