Vinod

I tried downloading your sample form from the files section today, and I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error. I was hoping that it would lead me to the solution of a similar problem.

I am trying to display an animated .gif file in an image control and am just getting a black rectangle. Regular (non-animated) .gif's work fine.

An animated .gif is the exact same format as a regular .gif, but the control tag says "read next image in file" and display the image. Within the control tag one can assign a variety of controls including how long to display the next image, if the image should be off-set from the (0,0) top left corner, if one of the colors is transparent, and a bunch of other stuff.

Can I use an animated .gif in VFP 6.0?
