Can I use gif images for buttons in user forms?

[Damson]

I need to create a user form for some young children to enter data. I'd like to use gif images as input buttons. Can this be done?

Possibly a bit ambitious as I've done next to nothing with Excel before - but if anyone can help with how to do this I'd be very grateful!

Thanks Raider,
On this Mr.Excel site we learn every day more and more about XL :wink:

Is there anyway to not display the vertical scroll bar on this object?

Also,

I would like to know the proper method of using several controls under additional controls(webimage, Shockwave Flash Player, and more).

I noticed 'Help' had nothing about setting properties for these controls, any good resources where I could find out more?

Thanks, everyone! That's great.

Corticus - I haven't tried recreating the technique so I'm not sure of this, but did you try resizing the the object smaller? That might make the scoll bar go away... just a guess.

Here are some threads on using Shockwave Flash controls. There are a couple of methods... ViperGTS showed me a method where you store the Flash movies in the same folder that your Workbook is in. It worked great for me. If you want, let me know and I'll post some code.

I never did find a way to make the movies 'clickable' though.

Just a thought, you could splash a load of pics of many varieties on a worksheet, and assign each one to a macro.

Turn off gridlines to make it look better
