The following attachment shows how you can do GIF animation in MSAccess.

To utilize the Microsoft Web Browser activeX control, you'll need to have Internet Explorer installed. The example uses the Microsoft Web Browser activeX control which is included in the IE installation. You should not need to register this activeX control.

You'll first need to populate the table with the GIF file locations (click the Populate GifLookup button). Once you've populated the table of your GIF file locations (which automatically searches for GIF files in the directory you specify - and also searches the sub-directories), you can then open the GIF viewer form to cycle through and view the GIF files it found.

This example can also be used to store other files in a table, not just gif files.

Note: You need to empty the dbo_GifLookup table first as this is currently populated with gif filenames which I have on my drive (see button on the Populate GifFiles form to empty this table).

Have fun.
