Can I create a new pattern in Excel programmatically?
In Excel 2002 I can format a shape with a pattern. I can choose from 48
patterns in the list. If those patterns aren't suitable is there any way that I can specify an additional pattern? eg Can I add some patterns programmatically when Excel starts up? Here's what I do: 1) Add an AutoShape 2) Right click the AutoShape, choose Format Autoshape... 3) Choose Color dropdown 4) Select Fill Effects... 5) Choose Patterns tab 6) See 48 patterns, none of which are quite right At this point I'd like some more patterns to be available. I'm happy to write some VBA to get them in the list if possible. cheers, Jonathan |

This one line of code loads a "brick wall" image into an autoshape oval...
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Oval 2").Fill.UserPicture "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2002\media\office10\autoshap\BD18208_.wmf" The file path will have to be adjusted for each computer it is on, unless more code is written to search the file system to find the particular picture file or you load the picture file with the workbook with each installation. -- Jim Cone Portland, Oregon USA "Jonathan McComb" wrote in message Yep, thanks - intarweb got me (that and a small brain).
