Hi Doug,
it can be done via VB but it's an unusually complex process when you are
trying to understand an Image file format for the first time. In particular,
there are compression issues to be understood.
I have studied the GIF file spec in detail. It allowed me to produce a
VB/VBA only solution to create Animated Gif's at runtime.Not for the faint
of heart though. I think last year though I came across a very nice VB class
for GIF creation. It's somewhere out there on the Net.
Finally, I am just starting to read up on the PNG format. It appears this is
the favoured type for Images embedded in the new A2007 Attachement field. I
need to add the capability to convert extracted OLE Images to PNG format for
re-embedding in the Attachment field to my OLE Image Extraction solution..
