Hello Baron
I use VFP6.0, the easy way I got my animated gifs in where with "gif89.dll"
download it, register it, goto VFP tools/options/controls and check the gif89.dll, then just modi a form/pull up the active-x forms controls toolbar/ click the gif89.dll (a globe) and drop it on your form, the last thing is the ... either "picture" or "file" property enter you file name "loop.gif"
hope this helped
>How would I go about inserting an animated gif as an image in a VFP7 app? Any clues would be helpful.
