Run-time error 481 - Invalid picture

[MarkCBB]

Hi there,

I am using some code I found on the internet, but I have made some samll changes to it and I am getting a Run-time error 481 - Invalid picture
Some of the Pitures do load but some of them dont load.

Here is the code I am using

Public Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, _
   ByVal szURL As String, _
   ByVal szFileName As String, _
   ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
   ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
Public Sub GURoL(url As String, FileName As String)
Dim lngRetVal As Long
    lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, url, FileName, 0, 0)
    If lngRetVal <> 0 Then
    MsgBox "GURol godo: Can't download from " & url & " to " & FileName
    End If
End Sub
Sub Download_Procedure()
Dim MyPictureLink As String
Dim MyPictureName As String
Dim MyImage As Variant
'Please note I have removed the atual URl and replaced the text with MyUrlGoesHere
MyPictureLink = "MyUrlGoesHere" & Sheet8.Range("o156").Value
MyPictureName = Sheet8.Range("F2").Value

Call GURoL(MyPictureLink, "C:\testing\" & MyPictureName & ".Png")
Sheet7.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\testing\" & MyPictureName & ".Png")
End Sub

Can you add the Picture to the Image Control manually? Maybe you need to add a delay before you use LoadPicture.

Hi Andrew,

I am not able to add it manually, I get a similar error "Invalid picture"

 

[Andrew Poulsom]

In that case the picture isn't a picture.

How would I be able to find that out, as far as I can see it has the same properties of a Picture, If I navigate the to url using IE I am able to right click as save as Picture. the file name on the folder ends with .png

 

[Andrew Poulsom]

If you do that can you assign it to an Image Control?

 

[MarkCBB]

Nope, I still get Invalid Image, maybe I sould rather use webbrowser to disaply instead of Image?

 

[Andrew Poulsom]

Did you try it?

 

[MarkCBB]

Yup I tried to manually load the picture but Still not luck, going to try the web broswer approach now, But i seem to remember the last time I tried to load alot of picture into alot of Web browsers I got a Script error, but going to give it a go.
