MACs don't support activeX controls, so they don't support image controls.
(to the best of my knowledge -- I don't use or have access to a MAC, but
that is what I have seen reported here).

Tom,

Thanks for the follow-up. I find it difficult to describe the question
concisely without being too concise, sorry for the confusion.

I was not aware that you could load the image from a file, save the XL
file,
delete the image and life would be OK. That is the reason I put them on a
worksheet, to make sure they went with the file (which is obviously not
required). I am using the images in a userform that replaces a Msgbox
(adding a little jazz). Both methods seem to accomplish the same thing.

As an aside, I have opened this file in Mac XL and the image does not
load,
using either method. Not that it is a big deal, don't anticpate much use
on
the Mac, I just try not to forget them.

Regards,
Tim

Also, I guess the confusion for me is from your basic question.

When I use the property window to load an image in the userform by
picking
it with the browse button, I can then save the excel file and close
excel.
I can then delete the image, and when I open excel and show the
userform,
the image is still in the image control. The original file is no
longer
required. Thus my assumption that you needed to change the image
dynamically, thus requiring access to the image file with your work
around
of putting the images on the worksheet. Where you experiencing
different
behavior with reference to a static image?

The limitation is that you would never change the image in your
application.
If that is your situation, then this should work for you.

This method is also mentioned in JWalk's XL2002 Power Programing
w/VBA
(p386), albeit briefly.

" I wonder what the Achilles heel is for this method."

Good question - however, I've sent add-ins, using this method,
to all parts of world without problems.

I didn't invent the technique, I believe it is Jim Rech that the
credit belongs to.

Jim,
Hard to believe or not, it appears to do the trick. I did try
Copy/Paste
into the image control itself, never would have thought about
into
the
path.
I wonder what the Achilles heel is for this method.

Tim,
The following is a little hard to believe, but it works...
When using an Image Control on a user form,
copy your picture - (Ctrl + C)
In the properties window for the Image Control,
paste directly into the "Picture" property - (Ctrl + V)
Set the "Picture Size Property" to Zoom.
Adjust the size of the Image Control.

Howdy,
I have created a couple of Userforms that contain image
controls.
Given
that not everyone will have the images in the same path (or
at
all) I wanted
to include them on a worksheet. I have named the images,
but
how
do I load
them into the Userform(s)? It appears the only way is to
navigate
to the
location on the harddrive.
TIA,
Tim
