Hi All,

I am running an animated GIF on a Userform using an additional control within VBA.

In order for the control to work for other users a file needs to be copied to C:\Windows\System32\ and then the following command run from the Start\Run\ area of windows:

regsvr32.exe DXAnimatedGIF.ocx

Once this is done the control will work and allow the use of GIFs animations on userforms.

Is there a way I can get my spreadsheet to do on opening:

1. Copy the file to C:\Windows\System32\ (the file will be in a specific folder eg My Documents\
2. Run the command regsvr32.exe DXAnimatedGIF.ocx

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Michael.
