How to open .jpg picture using Macro
 

I use the following macro to open excel files. Can this be modified to open
a picture ppppp.jpg ?

. . . or, can someone help me with a new macro that can open pictures
. . . I would still like to have the file checking options to see if already
open and if file actually exists.

Thanks

Sub NewExcelWithWorkbookFantastic()
Dim oXL As Object 'This is needed to open a new instance of Excel.
'Without it, the file is only opened as a new Window
Dim testFileFind
Dim oWB As Object

If FileAlreadyOpen("c:\extrafiles\fantastic.xls") = True Then
MsgBox "File is alreaady open"

End
Else

'The following tests for the existance of the file
testFileFind = Dir("c:\extrafiles\fantastic.xls")

'If the file is not found there will be nothing
'in the variable and processing ends.
If Len(testFileFind) = 0 Then
MsgBox "You do not have this file in C:\extrafiles\"
End
End If

'THIS LINE OF CODE OPENS THE NEW INSTANCE OF EXCEL.
Set oXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

'THIS LINE OF CODE MAKES THE NEW INSTANCE OF EXCEL VISIBLE.
oXL.Visible = True
Set oWB = oXL.Workbooks.Open("c:\extrafiles\fantastic.xls")

End If
End Sub

How to open .jpg picture using Macro
 

Open the picture where? In a worksheet? In a UserForm? In an Image control?
Somewhere else?

Hi Rick
I just wanted the picture to be displayed (not in any program).
It is solved. Thanks for replying.
