Bit of un update, I have taken your advice and animated the body and the ball seperate. It tell's me at frame 191 to turn the Passive Ridgid Body to Active. I then right-clicked and selected 'Key Selected'. I asume that make's the Passive Ridgid Body become Active from frame 191. It doesn't work as expected. When I create gravity to affect the ball and play back the animation the ball continues on as before. When I stop the playback and check, the Passive Ridgid Body say's Active is Off.

Sorry about the length, I couldn't make it any shorter.

P.S. How do I increase the speed of the animation, it all seams to be going at a bit of a slow rate for my liking ....... but I guess I should get the animation to do what I want it do before I worrie about stuff like that!
