First of all, Excel does not play nicely with merged cells.

I would get rid of those before I tried anything else.

Returning just the name of the picture is a problem I have never encountered
using Bernie's sample workbook as a base for a workbook.

Have you altered any of Bernie's sheet event code?

Hi Gord

The Bernie Deitrick is exactly what I am trying to do. When initials are
selected in one cell then the signature image appears in another. Multiple
times on one worksheet.

I tried using Bernie's code - but I am having two issues. One is that when
I try to have it look up the initials in merged cells and display the image
(signature) in merged cells it unmerges both sets of cells.

Secondly I can't get the image to display - only the name of the image.

any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps an approach other than an IF statement would do the job for you?

To have a picture show up when you select an item from a DV list or type in a
name see JE MCGimpsey's site.

As written John's code allows for only one picture to be displayed.

Got to Debra Dalgeish's site for a sample workbook from Bernie Dietrick for
adding pictures to selections.

Alows for more than one picture to be displayed.

I would like to paste a picture in a single cell, but have only been able to
