linking images to cell address

Is there a simple means of linking an image control to a cell address, so that if I change the image file name and address in a linked cell the image will change accordingly.

Hi Trevor,

Yes, it is easily done. Just change the file that the picture is loaded to the form from. Here is an example of loading it with the form's initialize event from cell C2 on the active worksheet:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture([c2].Value)
End Sub

Of course, this would only update the picture on loading the form, but you could update it any time (e.g., on a button click).
