Hello,
Im trying to create a macro to bring in images to fit the cell in the column next to the image name
This is the code im using and its not working can someone help me!!

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim pictureNameColumn As String 'column where picture name is found
Dim picturePasteColumn As String 'column where picture is to be pasted

Dim pictureName As String 'picture name
Dim lastPictureRow As Long 'last row in use where picture names are
Dim pictureRow As Long 'current picture row to be processed
Dim pathForPicture As String 'path of pictures

pictureNameColumn = "A"
picturePasteColumn = "B"

pictureRow = 2 'starts from this row

'error handler
On Error GoTo Err_Handler

'find row of the last cell in use in the column where picture names are
lastPictureRow = Cells(Rows.Count, pictureNameColumn).End(xlUp).Row

'stop screen updates while macro is running
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

pathForPicture = "C:\Users\nicole.dalton\Desktop\pictures\"
'loop till last row
Do While (pictureRow <= lastPictureRow)

pictureName = Cells(pictureRow, "A") 'This is the picture name

'if picture name is not blank then
If (pictureName <> vbNullString) Then
'check if pic is present
If (Dir(pathForPicture & pictureName & ".jpeg") <> vbNullString) Then

Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn).Select 'This is where picture will be inserted
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(pathForPicture & pictureName & ".jpg").Select 'Path to where pictures are stored

With Selection
.Left = Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn).Left
.Top = Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn).Top
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.ShapeRange.Height = 100#
.ShapeRange.Width = 130#
.ShapeRange.Rotation = 0#
End With
Else
'picture name was there, but no such picture
Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn) = "No Picture Found"
End If
Else
'picture name cell was blank
End If
'increment row count
pictureRow = pictureRow + 1
Loop

Exit_Sub:
Range("A10").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub

Err_Handler:
MsgBox "Error encountered. " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
GoTo Exit_Sub

Hi Elenimac,

Have a look at the adjustments to your code, they are the comments starting with ***** (code line 33, 42, 43, 65):
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim pictureNameColumn As String 'column where picture name is found
Dim picturePasteColumn As String 'column where picture is to be pasted

Dim pictureName As String 'picture name
Dim lastPictureRow As Long 'last row in use where picture names are
Dim pictureRow As Long 'current picture row to be processed
Dim pathForPicture As String 'path of pictures

pictureNameColumn = "A"
picturePasteColumn = "B"

pictureRow = 2 'starts from this row

'error handler
On Error GoTo Err_Handler

'find row of the last cell in use in the column where picture names are
lastPictureRow = Cells(Rows.Count, pictureNameColumn).End(xlUp).Row

'stop screen updates while macro is running
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

pathForPicture = "C:\Users\nicole.dalton\Desktop\pictures\"
'loop till last row
Do While (pictureRow <= lastPictureRow)

    pictureName = Cells(pictureRow, "A") 'This is the picture name
    
    'if picture name is not blank then
    If (pictureName <> vbNullString) Then
        'check if pic is present
        If (Dir(pathForPicture & pictureName & ".jpg") <> vbNullString) Then '***** Removed e from .jpeg
            
            Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn).Select 'This is where picture will be inserted
            ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(pathForPicture & pictureName & ".jpg").Select 'Path to where pictures are stored
            
            With Selection
                .Left = Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn).Left
                .Top = Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn).Top
                .ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
                .ShapeRange.Height = .TopLeftCell.RowHeight '***** Changed fixed value with variable
                .ShapeRange.Width = .TopLeftCell.Width '***** Changed fixed value with variable
                .ShapeRange.Rotation = 0#
            End With
        Else
            'picture name was there, but no such picture
            Cells(pictureRow, picturePasteColumn) = "No Picture Found"
        End If
    Else
        'picture name cell was blank
    End If
    'increment row count
    pictureRow = pictureRow + 1
Loop

Exit_Sub:
Range("A10").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub

Err_Handler:
MsgBox "Error encountered. " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
GoTo Exit_Sub
End Sub '***** Added line
