In Excel
use Insert=Picture=From file and select your file.

However, I don't see how this gets the picture into a database.

Hello, I am new to Excell but need to place a lot of product pictures into
it
for uploading to my database. Here's the problem: I have pictures in file
format (example, 123456.jpg) in Windows Explorer. I want to copy and paste
these in Excel and upload the picture files to the server database.
However
excel will not allow me to paste these and neither will notepad. Is there
a
way to accomplish this? I sure would appreciate any help / advise someone
could offer. Thanks
