Inserting a photo from a directory
 

What would I need to do to get a picture to automatically insert into a cell?

In a separate cell, the filename will appear (such as HP97).

I want something like


=INDIRECT.EXT("'G:\shared\data\["&L22&".jpg]")

where cell L22 would provide the detail such as HP97

The remote directory will have hundreds of jpg files, so I cannot consider
the McGimpsey solution which requires the photos to be hidden in the excel
document.

Following the insert of the picture. I would prefer that the picture is
scaled to fit, but if this is not possible, I can scale the original pictures
myself before saving them into the directory.

Sub ImportPicture()
repertoire = "G:\shared\data\"
[M22].Select
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Delete
Set monimage = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(repertoire & [L22] &
".jpg")
Selection.RowHeight = monimage.Height
End Sub

I guess that your code is in French language which needs translating into
Excel 2000 english.

Firstly, lets try to simplify things. Lets start with inserting a photo from
my local hard drive. Would this code work??

Sub TestInsertPicture()
insertPicture "C:\photo.jpg",
Range (a2)
End Sub
