Two ways to do this

Nice way - get an ocx that can display animated gif files (see lead technology's ocx). Cheaper variant - use MS webbrowser ocx control to display the animated gif

Ditry way - create a series of bmp images. Use a timer to change the visible properties to .t. and .f. in loop to run through images. This is clunky and may not have smooth transitions like the animated gif

Alchemy software has an shareware animated gif construction set on the web that will create many simple animated gif files.
