I'm not sure if this works in Access 2007, but it does in earlier versions
You'll need to make sure that your database is in a Trusted Location and
macro security is set to low, since this control is a dozen years old. You
first need to register the control:

Start >>> Run

then type:

regsvr32.exe "C:\Path to where you have placed gif89.dll"

You should get a message back that the registration succeeded. Now open a
form, and from the toolbox, select gif89 Class. Put the control on your
form. In the property sheet for the control, go to the other tab and enter
the full path to the gif. Save and close the form. When you reopen it, it
should be working fine.

Thank. It appears that I am running out of luck...

Did you enter the full path in the File Name box on the Other tab?
