hi
odd. i just loaded a bitmap 1348 kb in both form image control and sheet
image control. the zoom properties worked on both controls.
what version of xl do you have???? i'm working with 03. if 07, somthing may
have changed i don't know about yet.
wild stab and not sure but try opening pic in paint and save as a jpeg. not
sure if that will do any good but excel may be seeing something we can't and
may be displaying "a" error message instead of "the" error message.

Sorry about the terminology... but what I am trying to say is that it will
not import the picture because it says the file size is too large. The one
file I tried is only 41 KB. Is there another way to do this? Or is there a
program that I can save the picture in that Excel will accept?

hi
your terminology is a tad confusing but it you are using the standard image
control then try setting the picture size mode property to zoom. this should
shrink picture to fit. you may have to "play" with it some.

I found where you can add an image through the Image button in the toolbox,
but it says that the file is too large. How can I fix this? Teh file is in
Microsoft Office Picture manager. I have 2 sizes one is 1055 KB and the
other 41 KB-- both have the extenstion bmp. (The smaller one has a reduced
image)
