Gudday Sara,

Depends on the format of your animation, (nothing easy with a programming language right). Ok vb will handle avi with no problems, go to the components option on one of the pull down menus, (don't have vb installed on this PC, think the top level menu option is Project). Go down the options till you get too two Microsoft common controls, one of these will play avi.

If the animation is a gif you will need to get the gif89 ocx control, which l can email to you if you want it, (will include a demo project).

Ok putting the M&M animation on a cmdbtn may be a slight problem, have a look at the cmdbtn properties, there is one called something like "TYPE" set this to graphical, and then use the Picture property to point at your animation.

Try looking at www.planetsourcecode.com, they may have an answer for you.

Hope this helps. :)

Would you also send the gif89.ocx control to me, please? I'm needing it...
Thanks

Would you send me the gif89.ocx? Also I found a site that has free animation file. The instruction say to right click and save as Image picture but when I right click there is no image picture on the menu. Do you know a different way to download the file. I then want to put one in my program. I would like to put one on a button but I not sure if that possible. other E-Mail Add [email protected]

This gif89.ocx, yes i need this 2. Could you send it? [email protected]

Ok anyone that wants the gif email me at [email protected] and l will send, plus a simple project to demonstrate.

Thanxs
