vba to show images in comment box causing Out of Memory

[Armlegga]

Hi,

I have some VBA to take a path from the 2nd column and show an image for the cell that has been clicked using the comment box to display the image
It looks great, hopefully others can use it if this error gets cleared up

Example sheet

ML053 <tbody> </tbody> http://media.4rgos.it/i/Argos/9016710_R_Z001A?$Web$&$DefaultPDP570$ ML089 https://image.freepik.com/free-vector/smile-background-in-yellow-tones_23-2147637286.jpg ML100 https://www.free-funny-jokes.com/funny-pictures/what-do-you-call-a-sheep-covered-in-chocolate-joke.jpg <tbody> </tbody>

I have it working and looks great but after around 7 clicks I get RUN TIME ERROR 7 'Out of Memory'
I'm using a tiny sheet as a test only put around 12 lines into it so the size is 20KB

This is my code and the out of memory stops on .Comment.Shape.Fill.UserPicture TheFile
How can I keep the memory down, is it the code or an excel bug?

Just paste into the sheet you are using as it activates on the cell being selected

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim listWS As Worksheet
Dim targetCol, targetRow As Long
Dim TheFile As String


If Target.Column = 2 Then
    If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
        If IsEmpty(Target.Cells) = False Then
            If Cells(Target.Row, 2).Comment Is Nothing Then
               
           ' Set listWS = Application.ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
            
            targetCol = Target.Column
            targetRow = Target.Row
           ' TheFile = listWS.Cells(targetRow, targetCol).Value
            TheFile = Cells(targetRow, targetCol).Value
            'With listWS.Range(listWS.Cells(targetRow, 4), listWS.Cells(targetRow, 4))
            With Range(Cells(targetRow, 2), Cells(targetRow, 2))
                .AddComment
                .Comment.Visible = True
                .Comment.Shape.Fill.UserPicture TheFile
                .Comment.Shape.ScaleWidth 0.8, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
                .Comment.Shape.ScaleHeight 1.5, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
               
            End With
           ' Set listWS = Nothing
            Else
            Cells(Target.Row, 2).Comment.Delete
            
            End If
        End If
    End If
End If
End Sub

Thanks for your help

Anyone?
Does anyone know how to prevent the images destroying the memory?
