I would like to be able to have VBA for excel delete all the pictures on a
given worksheet, but only in a certain range of that sheet. Is this possible?
ie. delete the pictures found only in the range A5:C25

Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A5:C25").Shapes.Select All
Selection.Delete

'That baby doesn't work, but is there perhaps something similar that might
do the trick?

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks!

John

Pictures "float" above the cells.

But you can find if they "hide" cells:

Delete all pictures partly or entirely within A5:C25 on Sheet2 of
activeworkbooik -

Sub test()
Dim s As String
Dim pic As Picture
Dim rng As Range

' Set ws = ActiveSheet
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")

Set rng = ws.Range("A5:C25")

For Each pic In ActiveSheet.Pictures
With pic
s = .TopLeftCell.Address & ":" & .BottomRightCell.Address
End With
If Not Intersect(rng, ws.Range(s)) Is Nothing Then
pic.Delete
End If
Next

End Sub

And now two satisfied customers....

But after a glance at the code as posted I regret to advise there is an
error. It would only become apparent if not dealing with the activesheet.

Please change
For Each pic In ActiveSheet.Pictures
to
For Each pic In ws.Pictures
