Hi Bill,

I found a work around in the meantime but I will adjust it as per your
instructions. Thank you very much for your over-the-top patience and
assistance. I have created an inventory database and now due to your
assistance it will be complete with pictures. You have a fan.

Hi All,

I have been reading many posts about using code to insert pictures from a
folder into an area of a spreadsheet and have made them work according to the
many people who have posted here. Most posts say that either you enter a name
or number in a cell that corresponds to a pic, or use a data validation box
to do a lookup. Again, I have made each of these methods work. My question:
Can you make it work using an Active X combo box? I am able to make all the
code work, but the picture just does not materialize. Alternately are you
able to make a data validation box perform an auto complete as the combo box
does?
Basically I have 8000 enrties of part numbers and with the combo box I can
start typing the first numbers or letters and the box jumps to that part of
the list.

Thanks in advance.
