Put a picture in a text box without selecting it?
 
Can this be done without selecting the text box? I am using it to put a
picture in a text box, the picture number is in cell G1. Or is there a
better way?

Using Excel 2003

Thanks

Put a picture in a text box without selecting it?
 
This worked ok for me.

Just a warning...
if that number in G1 that is the name of the file, you may have to format it to
show any leading 0's.

You may need to use something like:
& format(.range("g1").value, "00000") & ".jpg"

Option Explicit
Sub ShowPictures()

Dim TBox As TextBox
Dim myFileName As String
Dim TestStr As String

With ActiveSheet
Set TBox = .TextBoxes("text box 21")
myFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath _
& "\My Pictures\Carousels" & "\" _
& .Range("G1").Value & ".jpg"
End With

With TBox
.Characters.Text = ""
With .Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Regular"
.Size = 10
.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.OutlineFont = False
.Shadow = False
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

With .ShapeRange
.Fill.Transparency = 0#
.Line.Weight = 0.75
.Line.DashStyle = msoLineSolid
.Line.Style = msoLineSingle
.Line.Transparency = 0#
.Line.Visible = msoTrue
.Line.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 64
.Line.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
.Fill.Visible = msoTrue
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
.Fill.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)

TestStr = ""
On Error Resume Next
TestStr = Dir(myFileName)
On Error GoTo 0

If TestStr = "" Then
MsgBox Prompt:="No Picture Available", _
Title:="Error Retrieving Picture", _
Buttons:=vbOKOnly
Else
.Fill.UserPicture picturefile:=myFileName
End If
End With
End With

End Sub
