Default " Select method of range class failed" if sheet not on top

Have you tried bringing sheet "effic" on top ?
Worksheets("Effic").Select ?

Dim Pict As Object
Dim p As Object
Filename$ = "C:\aScopePic\jdpic7.png"
DoThis$ = "c:\windows\wgetbin\wget.exe -t1 -O"
DoThis$ = DoThis$ + "C:\aScopePic\jdpic8.png"
DoThis$ = DoThis$ + " 10.32.54.19/Image.png"
If Dir(Filename$) = "" Then Stop
ret = Shell(DoThis$):
' Works so far, pic saved locally
' Now the following works ONLY if the Effic tab was on top when I run
the VBA
' Otherwise the next line returns " Select method of range class
failed"
'Change starts here
Worksheets("Effic").Select
'Change ends here
Worksheets("Effic").Range("B3:F18").Select
Worksheets("Effic").Range("B3:F18").Activate
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert (Filename$)
' I would like to be able to insert the picture onto any of the
sheets
' THANK YOU !!!!
