hi

i have this piece of code in my excel macro.

Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Picture 2")).Select

The problem i'm having is that sometimes depending on the sheet that i'm running the code on it can be "image1.png etc..

how can i modify this line that if it errors out it will select image1.png or image2.png

thanks
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
if we're talking 2-3 options then this should do it:
Code:
...
On Error Resume Next
    Err.Clear
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Picture 1")).Select
    If Err > 0 Then
        Err.Clear
        ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Picture 2")).Select
        If Err > 0 Then
            Err.Clear
            ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Picture 3")).Select
        End If
    End If
On Error GoTo 0

With this you select the first image that exists on the sheet, no matter what its name.

Code:
    For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
        shp.Select
        Exit For
    Next

Or if you really want to select all shapes:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Selectall
