Bob: I haven't used animated gifs in forms yet, so I can't answer your question.
But I do use them in pause messages, so you could display that before the project and then do a cls. If you haven't done those yet, here's the syntax: PAUSE 2 USING 'Under Construction!' CAPTION .vCaption + OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 11 | ICON_FILE dancing.gif Karen > I have not used animated gifs much in the past, but just placed one on a > form. > I have an EEP that projects a temp table from an ODBC table that takes > 30-40 > seconds to complete.
