To implement InsertPictureFromFile requires no dependancy on the Forms lib nor
the clipboard...

Option Explicit


Sub InsertPictureFromFile()
'Inserts picture-from-file at the active cell
Dim sFile$

sFile = Get_FileToOpen: If sFile = "" Then Exit Sub
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(sFile).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleHeight 0.85, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
'Assumes the follow 'custom' toolbar exists
Application.CommandBars("Format Object").Visible = False
Rows("27:27").Select
End Sub

Function Get_FileToOpen$(Optional FileTypes$)
If FileTypes = "" Then FileTypes = "All Files ""*.*"", (*.*)"

Dim vFile
vFile = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileTypes)
Get_FileToOpen = IIf(vFile = False, "", vFile)
End Function
