You can specify how many times gif will be played when you create it. See

>Can I stop the animated gif anywhere on the form, and then relocate it's position when the form is brought up with that particular record again? If so that would be great. When I think of animated gif's I think of those annoying spinner gifs you find once in a while on webpages. I need to be able to control their animated posistion per record.
