I would like to automatically insert a picture into a worksheet. The name of the picture is contained in a cell in the worksheet. The location of the pictures will always be in the same folder on my computer.
Does anyone know the code for this?
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
The Marco below will insert a picture into the worksheet, if the file name is put in AC1, you need the complete path, in AC1, to the photo something like C:Excelphotostest.jpg

Sub GetPic()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Shape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If Shape.Type = msoPicture Then
Shape.Delete
End If
Next Shape
Dim PicPath As String
PicPath = Range("ac1")
On Error GoTo NoPic
Range("f5").Select
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(PicPath).Select
'Range("A1").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub

NoPic:
MsgBox Prompt:="No Picture Available", _
Title:="Error Retrieving Picture", _
Buttons:=vbOKOnly
End Sub
