AVI files (Audio Video Interleave, the file format for Microsoft's Video for Windows standard) can be useful when you need to display an animation in a Window. In this case I have done this for a userform, but you can just as easily do it within the Excel application, all you need is the handle to the window.
Many people have wanted to show some sought of animation within there userfrom. Here is one way to do this.
Note: Download includes AVI files
