Thanks so much for replying Vasant

So what's the syntax if it's object 6928?
I tried ...

Mfile = Sheet1.OLEObjects("Object 6928")

....but that didn't work.

Sorry I'm ignorant of vb syntax

For example:

Sheet1.OLEObjects("Object 1")

You can determine the name of the object by clicking on it and looking at
the Name Box (to the left of the Formula Bar).

Hello - might I ask help of the experts here please?

I have a macro in a spreadsheet that references back to a video file
(Mfile=
"test.avi") I want to e-mail the spreadsheet to a friend but in order to
do
so, she will have to separately copy the file test.avi to her c drive to
make the macro function. This is inconvenientas she is not computer
literate.

Obviously I can embed the file test.avi into the spreadsheet as an
object,
but how can I change the VB code to directly reference it. I'm no VB
expert,
so any help would be appreciated

Best

TP
