Hi Jacque, Are you saying you didn't need to insert any waits or send in times for the gif to animate? If so, I'm confused because the gif I'm using didn't animate at all unless I gave up some cpu time with a wait.
I'm not managing frame counts or frame rates in any way though. Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com> On Sun, Jan 20, 2013 at 10:19 AM, J.

I don't need to manage the framerate or anything else.
