Thanks; it will just be a link to the company website...I have a
feeling that a GIF might not be fancy enough for the people requesting it,
but I'll take a look....thanks again....

Hi Pete,

If you want to send around by email as well then depending on the type of
people you are sending to, you may find that some places block powerpoint
and/or flash attachments due to viruses etc. In this case PDFs are less
likely to be blocked and you can get PDF creation software which keeps the
animations from Powerpoint.

If it's definately only on a website then I'd consider the old skool method
of gif animations. Really simple to achieve. I believe there was a program
called The Gif Construction Set once upon a time.

Feel free to drop me an email if you want to ask anything. I've been
working on websites for a number of years and whilst I mainly do data and
not flashy images or movies, I might be able to help.

Good luck,

Brad

never used it, and doubt I have time to learn it between now and the end of
