Default Change Imagebox Property?

You need to put your code between the If..Then statement and the End If
statement if you want it to be controlled by the logical expression in the
If..Then statement. Try this...

Private Sub Image1_Click()

Dim NewImg As Long
Dim DelImg As Long

NewImg = MsgBox("Insert New Photo?", vbYesNoCancel)
If NewImg = vbYes Then
FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
"All Files (*.jpg),*.jpg, All Files (*.bmp),*.bmp")
If FileToOpen < False Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture _
= LoadPicture(FileToOpen)
End If
ElseIf NewImg = vbNo Then
If Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1"). _
Object.Picture Is Nothing Then
DelImg = MsgBox("Remove Current Photo?", vbYesNo)
If DelImg = vbYes Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1"). _
Object.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End If
End If
End If
End Sub

NOTE: The above code is off-the-top-of-my-head... I didn't try it out (I
simply restructured what you already had).

When I put this in my code posted earlier:

If Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture Is Nothing
Then
End If

The next statement: DelImg = MsgBox("Remove Current Photo?", vbYesNo)
still
executes, as it probably should. So adding this "If" statement doesn't
skip
over the following prompt to remove an image that isn't there.

I tried a GoTo to try and skip over the second msgbox statment if the
"Object.Picture Is Nothing" , but I get an error.

I think I must be missing something obvious here.

"Object.Picture Is Nothing" wasn't what I said to test; however, this...

Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture Is Nothing

returned True (if there is no picture in the ImageBox) and False (if
there
is) for me when I tested it.

I didn't get any errors, but it didn't change anything either. The
property
for the photo is either (None) or (Bitmap), regardless whether hte
image
inserted in jpg or bmp.

So "Object.Picture Is Nothing" does not seem to be returning a true or
false
value.

I'd like it to skip the second msgbox asking to remove a photo when
there
isn't one there - and I'm stumped how to do this.

OK, thanks - that works. Almost got this thing wrapped up - one more
question
(I hope) on this.

My code for the image box looks like this:

Private Sub Image1_Click()

Dim NewImg As Long
Dim DelImg As Long

NewImg = MsgBox("Insert New Photo?", vbYesNoCancel)
If NewImg = vbYes Then
FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
"All Files (*.jpg),*.jpg, All Files (*.bmp),*.bmp")
If FileToOpen < False Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture
_
= LoadPicture(FileToOpen)
End If
ElseIf NewImg = vbNo Then
' If Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture
=
("")
Then
' End If
DelImg = MsgBox("Remove Current Photo?", vbYesNo)
If DelImg = vbYes Then

Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture
=
LoadPicture("")
ElseIf DelImg = vbNo Then
End If
ElseIf NewImg = vbCancel Then
End If

End Sub

Note the two line I have commented out - I want to skip having the
second
message box pop up if the image box is empty, but this line returns
an
object
error. So, obviously I've got something wrong somewhere. I only get
an
object
error if there is no image in the photo box.

Suggestions?

Also, anyone have a suggestion for a book on VBA? Something written
so
the
casual user can understand?

I posted the code earlier on a different topic:

Private Sub Image1_Click()

FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename( _
"All Files (*.jpg),*.jpg,(*.bmp),*.bmp")
If FileToOpen < False Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture _
= LoadPicture(FileToOpen)
End If

End Sub

If I want to remove the image, I have to change the image box
Picture
property to "none". Can anyone help with the code for setting
properties?

I think I'd need something like

Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.P icture _
= None

Is it possible to assign this to a right-click event? Or, maybe I
should
add
some code for a message box prompting to add or remove an image.
I'm
not
sure
what the simplest solution is.

I'm so rusty on VB code - it's been years since I messed with it.

Thanks folks!
