Hi I cant seem to find how I go about inserting a photo url (they are actually in photobucket)(uplaoded automatically by my camera and eyeficard ) into an excel cell so it shows a thumbnail of the photo. (when I am online).

I have found out how to make a photo show up when a link is hovered over but that required the image to be on the PC I was using.

Any pointers appreciated. I dont mind research and reading but its a minefield with the key words I am using lol

P.S I am not going mad there is no edit link on the first message I posted. There is in this one. lol
