Dear World,


I have created animations which I can save in gif and avi formats using an app I just purchased. I remember trying to put these into Access but ran accross a few probs. I'm going to be putting these into a vb program later and just want to check a few things.

1) What's the best format to use - .gif or .avi (for use with little logo's & creating a screensaver).

2) in access - putting a .gif in the form did not work as it created an icon in the object which when double clicked opened up the internet explorer, can you acutally show the gif on the form without having to click it (or does VB automatically do this).

3) In access - when i put a video file in, I can activate it programatically, but I have the option bar at the bottom (which says pay,stop, pause and has the progress bar). Is there a way to get rid off this bar????

Any advice would be greatly welcomed....

Thanx
