Not an answer, but what code do you get when recording a macro of the
InsertPictureFrom File actions in XL2007 ?

In Excel XP or Excel 2003, we can add picture to worksheet from url,
besides
from file. There are two functions that can do the job:

1. ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert Filename:=strUrl
2. ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddPicture Left:=10, Top:=10, _
Width:=100, Height:=100, _
Filename:=strUrl, LinkToFile:=msoFalse, SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue

However, in Excel 2007, both of the above functions don't work. I'm not
sure
if the same function is taken away from Excel 2007, or if some settings
are
not set properly.

thanks for any help
