Again~ Ship Simulator!

[RezaNana]

Hi guys and gals,
i need to know wether anybody can tell me what kind of 3D graphic software can be controlled by access.I mean in real time. I have seen it been done before bt i really dont know what kind of 3d software they are using.
The3d software is used to control a navy ship simulator. It is networked and it contains two type of user, The Master fleet comander and the sailors. What the software did is, the master will key in some data (through the ms access Software) e.g speed of the battleship, directions,rudder directions and it will distributed the data through the network.And after receiving the data, the sailors will confirm the data and after executing, the ships will move according to the data entered.
Can anybody help.??or at least tell me who can help?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 3D software. If, however, you mean that, say, you have a picture of a ship (i.e. gif image or whatever) and you want the ship to move, simply place the activeX control Microsoft Web Browser on your form and set the navigate property to the path and name of your image. Then simply change the left and top coordinates of the Web Browser to simulate the ship moving.

There is also a dll (gif89.dll) that allows you to place gif images on the form (check out FAQ on how going about getting it). However, the Web Browser is a pretty cool tool.
