I would like some help finishing the VBA code that I'm trying to piece together. I have 2 ranges of cells in a worksheet ("Data") that I would like to show individually (not at the same time) on a user form while working on another worksheet ("Input") within the same workbook. The user form will only be used as a reference for the user filling out the "Input" sheet (no manipulation will be done with the information on the user form - the cell range from the "Data" sheet only needs to be shown as an image or picture).
Info: 64bit Windows & 64bit Excel 365
I currently have the following:
Here is where I need help... The CopyREDInfoToCBoard and CopyBLUEInfoToCBoard subs work as anticipated by copying the correct ranges to the clipboard but I cannot figure out how to utilize the class module code (above) to paste/show the RED or BLUE range on the user form's image control. I'd like to have the RED range show up user form is initialized. I have the following code in the user form that needs assistance:
In my search for a solution, I found this thread charts on a User Form? where member Jaafar Tribak tackles a similar issue with charts on a user form. Unfortunately, I'm not versed enough in VBA to put it all together.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I currently have the following:
- Command button on "Input" sheet to call for the user form (
*userform*.show vbmodeless) - I have the following code in a 'class module', found through web searches, that allows an image on the clipboard to be pasted in a user form. This code is beyond my abilities so I'm assuming that it works - (this code was originally created by Stephen Bullen and I reduced it to only include VBA7 and 64bit as that is our setup):
