Default Name of shape giving VB run-time error

I have the following VB line that is giving me errors:

ActiveSheet.Shapes("Picture 8").Select

I suspect the problem is that the name of the shape I am
wanting it to find isn't "Picture 8".

How do I find out the name of the shape?

Thanks.

Tim

Tim,

Select the picture. Look at the name box (left of formula bar).
