I have a workbook that contains 100 worksheets. *On each work sheet I have

This was working fine but I am now getting the following error after I
select a person from the drop down and then when ever i try to input data
into any other cell. *The error message is:

Runtime Error '1004'" Unable to set the top property of the picture class

It then allows me to END or debug. *if i select debug it opens the VBA
window to the code and highlights this line

oPic.Top = .Top

But i don't know what to to do with that line of code to debug

PLEASE HELP

thanks in advance - JB

Hi JB,

I've seen this problem a few time before today. Every thing works fine
until a certain number of pictures is reached then that error 1004
stops it working.
See if this solution works on your sheets, it has worked in the
past...

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim Pic As Shape
For Each Pic In Me.Shapes
If Pic.Type = msoPicture Then
Pic.Visible = False
End If
Next Pic
With Range("AD1")
For Each Pic In Me.Shapes
If Pic.Name = .Text Then
Pic.Visible = True
Pic.Top = .Top
Pic.Left = .Left
Exit For
End If
Next Pic
End With
End Sub

As you can see I have avoided dimensioning the pictures as pictures
and instead used the Shape object. It does require an extra loop so
that only shapes of the type "msoPicture" are hidden.
