Default Programmatic addition of form elements relative to a cell

Tom
In reference to the code you kindly provided below, I'm wondering about the
DisplayAsIcon property as well as images in workbooks in general.
I've seen examples of putting images on forms programmatically by loading
them from a file location, however since my excel workbook/macro will not
always be in the one location this will not work.
Is there a way to embed images in a workbook and then access them and show
them where I like in my workbook?
Thanks
Matt

If you record a macro while you do it manually you get

ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Check Box.1", Link:=False,

_
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=377.25, Top:=114.75, Width:=78,

Height:=
_
18.75).Select


so you could do
lTop = Range("B9").top
lLeft = Range("B9").Left
lWidth = Range("B9").Width
lHeight = Range("B9").Height
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add ClassType:="Forms.CheckBox.1", _
Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, _
Left:=lLeft, Top:=lTop, Width:=lWidth, Height:=lHeight
