Very good programm !! But one remark on 
the code : all happens in a infinite 
loop in Draw_Load event and it take 
100% processor time. Programming under 
Windows need events. you'd better use a 
timer to call the animation sub!!! It 
will allow some time for other task...

Or you can just add a 
vba.interaction.doevents to the loop 
and it will take only the amount of CPU 
time it needs

If you Doevents() it still uses a lot 
of processor resources, because calling 
DoEvents is lengthy... The only way I 
found to have some free resources is 
the Windows API Sleep() function.
