Hello everybody,

I am trying to place an animated GIF on an Access Form. I am able to insert the animated gif, but it wouldn't work in the run time, the image turns to act as static.

Another question is about displaying a real time on the form with the seconds running.
I used the formats Now(), time(), date()..all show only static times

Please advise on the above issues.
Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

Don't know about the animated gif thing - i tried and failed ages ago so
stopped trying.

Can help with the clock thing though

Try

Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me!lblclock.Caption = Format(Now, "dddd, d mmm yyyy, hh:mm:ss AMPM")
End Sub

You do need to create a lable called lblclock :p
