Does anyone know how i can put an animated GIF or an AVI into a form within access? (so it runs automatically too...)  :blink:

video, easy.

form toolbox, click more controls.

Down the bottom there is a control called Windows Media Player.

Add that to the form, open the properties for the object, select the all tab then click the ... by the custom field. This will open the properties box. In there you can choose the filename of the video clip and various other properties.

That should get you going :)

I'll set the scene...

Just making a database from work... but as i like my friendly and pretty  GUI's :)

I have made a animated gif from our company logo... would like it on the form's in bottom corner but dont know how to do this...

i made it in to an AVI also just because i could... and thought i'd try that method too... but its not really going to work...

err, well as far as I know, you can't attach animated gifs. It's a database form front end not a web page :P

All the forms I've done here don't even have our logo on as they're used internally anyway.

Is it really needed for the database to function?

So make a web frontend to your database. Have as many anims as you like then  ;)
