file name from a cell value in VB
 

I am writing in VB using macro to associate a graphic with a part number
located in a specific cell.

I need to return a graphic using the value of a cell.

IE: if the cell value is: CG234
Then Ineed to tell the macro to go to file:
C/documents.pictures.CG234.jpg

I can do the macro for locating the picture but can't figure out how to
get the cell value to become part of the file address where the graphic
is located.

Got any ideas on this???

Thanks for your consideration.........
