Bill,

When you paste this program in a cell, it gives an error message. Is there a
particular place or way that it needs to be pasted? I placed an equal sign in
the cell I chose to paste it in so it will not show up as just text.

In the module of the worksheet, paste in the following code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim stFile As String
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("E6")) Is Nothing Then
stFile = "C:\Temp\" & Me.Range("E6") & ".JPG"
If Dir(stFile) = "" Then
MsgBox "File not found"
Else
Me.Shapes("NewPic").Delete
With Me.Shapes.AddPicture(stFile, True, True, Range("A16").Left, _
Range("A16").Top, Range("A16").Width, Range("A16").Width * 3 / 4)
.Name = "NewPic"
End With
End If
End If
End Sub

You will need to adjust the directory in the line beginning stFile =
And you will need to name the picture currently in A16 as NewPic
(select it, type the name NewPic in the box at the left end of the
formula bar and press Enter)

Then, when you enter the name of a picture file in E6, the relevant
picture should appear in A16.

It will be sized in 4 * 3 format - you can change that too by modifying
"* 3 / 4"
