So, is the file path going to dynamic? Meaning, will it always be stored in the same place, and called the same thing?

Post your code and we can help, we cannot produce code turn key for you.

Hello,

To insert a selected picture in excel:

ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert('full path of the picture from your local drive')

The above code will simply insert selected picture in excel within the selected cell or range in its original size.

Thanks & Regards,
Captain Ashish

Hi Captainashish,

Thanks for the quick reply. I used that command as below. The file gets inserted into the selected cell but it does not get displayed. It just says "the linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved,renamed or deleted." I tried the command with different pictures inn different folders, but still it shows the same message.

Looking forward for your guidance :)

Sub pics()

ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert ("C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\")

End Sub

This is why i don't do turn key solutions. If we helped and guided you to the solution, you would learn. Just posting some cut and paste scripts, ALWAYS ends up with:

"IT doesn't work!"

Your path has no Image file attached to it:"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\"

that is a folder path. it should be: "C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\imagefile.png"
