Default Is it possible to create a dropdown list with pictures/icons ?

Gord,

i didn't explain myself properly.

i copied the code and the formulas from the site and off course changed the
names of the pictures to my own pictures.

but when i start selecting with the dropdown list in the first sheet all
pictures dissapear nomatter what selection i perform.

Grts,
Tom

JE's example workbook should be downloaded so's you can have a look at how he
has done it.

As designed, only the picture associated with the DV dropdown choice will be
shown.

The rest are hidden.

Perhaps not what you needed?

Do you wish each picture to remain in view after it has been chosen from the
dropdown list?

The event code would have to re-written in order for that to occur.

Gord,

I tried the solution on the JE McGimpsey's site but i can't get it to work
fully. When i run the code the pictures dissapear, like they can't be found.

Could i maybe send you my excel file ?

Greets,
Tom

Programmatically............see JE McGimpsey's site for a method of showing
hidden pictures based upon a value in a cell. The value can be one of many in a
DV dropdown list.
