Thumbs up Answer: How do I name a picture as I paste it from VBA? (ActiveSheet.Past.

To name a picture as you paste it from VBA, you can use the following steps:
  1. Copy the picture to the clipboard using the following code:
    Formula:
    Selection.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreenFormat:=xlPicture 
  2. Create a new shape in Excel using the following code:
    Formula:
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle100100200200).Select 
  3. Paste the picture from the clipboard into the new shape using the following code:
    Formula:
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Rectangle 1")).Select
    ActiveSheet
    .Paste 
  4. Rename the shape to "samplepicture" using the following code:
    Formula:
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Rectangle 1").Name "samplepicture" 

So, the complete code to paste the picture from the clipboard and name it as "samplepicture" would be:

Formula:
Sub PasteAndNamePicture()
    
'Copy the picture to the clipboard
    Selection.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
    
    '
Create a new shape in Excel
    ActiveSheet
.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle100100200200).Select
    
    
'Paste the picture from the clipboard into the new shape
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Rectangle 1")).Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    
    '
Rename the shape to "samplepicture"
    
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Rectangle 1").Name "samplepicture"
End Sub
