Convert linked images to be embedded in the file

[Nowherefast]

Hello All:
I've searched for about a few hours and can't seem to find something that would help me do the following:

I have a few files with over 1,500 images in each file. The files are copied from a network drive. When I email the files out, the images can no longer be viewed. If I copy one image and paste special the image, then it comes out fine. But since these files have over 1,500 images, this would take days.

Is there any VB code that can convert all these images at once to be embedded into the file?

Thank you in advance.
