Loading pictures from already populated image control

[Peter__]

I've got a spreadsheet which is starting to get a bit big and slow to load/save.

It's got an (identical) graphic logo on each of two dozen sheets, which I suspect is the main reason for this.

So what I'd like to do is just have the logo in an image control on one sheet, and an empty image control on every other sheet, which are filled with the image from the first sheet at startup.

Is that possible? What code would I use? Would it achieve what I want?

Any other solutions? (I've considered copying pasting on load-up, but that way the images would all get saved when the sheet is, thus defeating the purpose. I've also considered loading the image from a file, but adding another file would make deployment a significant hassle, so I'd rather avoid it).

You could delete the duplicate images in the Before_Save and the Before_Close events in addition to copy/paste on Open.

Yeah, that's a decent suggestion, it just seems a bit, I dunno... inelegant. I guess because I'd then need more routines in... actually I'm not sure which event i could attach it to, to then recreate the images after a Save.

Or I could take the picture from the image control, save it to a file in the temp folder, and then load it into the other controls. But that seems, perhaps, even messier.
