Hello, I have the following code that I got with the help of this wonderful forum. I have modified a little but it is not working. Would it be possible to get your help?
Code:
Private Sub PicToSheet1(picControl, sht As Worksheet)
    Dim PCAR As String
    CAR = Me.TextBox1.Value
    Dim p As String, L As Double, T As Double, H As Double
    path = "C:\Users\Anahi\Desktop\PCAR Project\Folders" & CAR
    
'save temporary image to folder
    SavePicture picControl.Picture, path
'embed image in sheet
    L = sht.Cells(13, 1).Left: T = sht.Cells(13, 1).Top
    With sht.Shapes.AddPicture(Filename:=p, linktofile:=msoFalse, savewithdocument:=msoCTrue, Left:=L, Top:=T, Width:=290, Height:=220)
        .Placement = xlMove
        .OLEFormat.Object.PrintObject = msoTrue
        .OLEFormat.Object.Locked = msoTrue
    End With
'delete temporary file
   
End Sub

When I run the above code, it gives me error in this line: SavePicture picControl.Picture, path. I would like the picture loaded in userfomer1 Image1 saved with that name and Image 2 saved with that name as well in the path that depends on CAR #. Can you help me please?

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
is CAR your file name?
- insert path separator \ before CAR in string path

Yes CAR is the file name. The above code is wrong in that sense. I just need the image to be saved in that path. I do not need to be place in a worksheet cell after it is saved. But I cannot make it work. Would it be possible to have your help?

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]Private Sub PicToSheet1(picControl)[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Dim CAR As String[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]CAR = Me.TextBox1.Value[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Dim p As String, L As Double, T As Double, H As Double[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]path = "C:\Users\SS1590\Desktop\CAR Project\Folders" & CAR[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333333]'save temporary image to folder[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]SavePicture picControl.Picture, path[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]'embed image in sheet[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].OLEFormat.Object.PrintObject = msoTrue[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].OLEFormat.Object.Locked = msoTrue[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]End Sub[/COLOR]

Thank you.

I tried by adding the \ but it is not working, the image is not save to the path. The picture is loaded in a userform image control box "Image1".

Hi Rory, this is the code that I have which i tried to modify from a code
kindly help me with.

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


PicToSheet1 Me.Image1
PicToSheet2 Me.Image2

End Sub

Private Sub PicToSheet1(picControl)
Dim CAR As String
CAR = Me.TextBox1.Value
Dim p As String, L As Double, T As Double, H As Double
path = "C:\Users\SS1590\Desktop\CAR Project\Folders" & CAR


'save temporary image to folder
SavePicture picControl.Picture, path
'embed image in sheet
.OLEFormat.Object.PrintObject = msoTrue

End Sub

This is the original code:

rivate Sub UserForm_Activate()
    PicToSheet Me.Image1, ActiveSheet
End Sub

Private Sub PicToSheet(picControl, sht As Worksheet)
    Dim p As String, L As Double, T As Double, H As Double
    p = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Format(Now, "yymmdd hhmmss") & "bmp"
'save temporary image to folder
    SavePicture picControl.Picture, p
'embed image in sheet
    L = sht.Cells(1, 12).Left: T = sht.Cells(1, 12).Top
    With sht.Shapes.AddPicture(Filename:=p, linktofile:=msoFalse, savewithdocument:=msoCTrue, Left:=L, Top:=T, Width:=123, Height:=49.5)
