Hi guys,

I'm using Dave Peterson's sub,
http://tinyurl.com/ejpmo
(sub is pasted below for easy ref)

It works terrific 99.999% of the time (and I'm really grateful),
... but I'm still unable to overcome a few instances of sub halts
where the error msg would read:

Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057)
The specified value is out of range

and Debug would point at this line:
myCell.Comment.Shape.Fill.UserPicture PictFileName
(a line within Sub InsertPicComment)

In Excel, the comment would be created for that particular cell
where the sub halts, but w/o the picture inserted

I've checked that the hyperlink for the cell is fine
(clicking on it opens the image)
and the linked image size (.jpg) is also no different (about the same size)
from those for other cells where the sub ran beautifully

Repeated attempts to reset and re-run the sub
on just that single stubborn cell proved fruitless

(I've had to resort to manually inserting the pic
into the comment for such cases <g)

Wondering whether there's anything I could do over here
to overcome the above

If the above is difficult to resolve,
I'd like the sub to skip over the instance(s)
and just continue running ..

P/s: I'm using Excel 97 in Win XP
