You need to use a control that supports animated gif images. There is a free one called GIF89.dll. Google will turn it up for you.

Hello :wave:
I've attached an article for you, which I've found on PlanetSourCode ( http://www.planetsourcecode.com)

There is an animation control in comctr32.ocx that is available thorough components.
Also available through components is a DirectAnimationLibrary and a set of DirectAnimation Media Controls.
I have never had the need nor the desire to do any animation in any of my programs, so I don't know what they do or how they do it, but they are available.

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies, really appreciate it! :)
The GIF file can now be animated using the Microsoft Internet Control (added component) in VB6. Thanks again!
