Maybe you are looking for this to add the picture on top of C3

Sub test()
Dim YourPic As Picture
With ActiveSheet.Range("C3")
Set YourPic = .Parent.Pictures.Insert("C:\Data\Picture1.jpg")
YourPic.Top = .Top
YourPic.Width = .Width
YourPic.Height = .Height
YourPic.Left = .Left
End With
End Sub

Sorry, yesterday the browser was giving me problems and i could not write an
explaination to my subject.

I have a loop that updates the Filename everytime it loops and it is
different every time. the loop gives me a public declared string of the
filename. (the populate is in a different subfunction as the loop.)

How do i take this string of the file (i know that the filename will be in
the stated folder) and use it for the Address of the picture to be populated.
I was successful once, but then I changed some other code (unrelated code)
and i couldnt get this snippet to work anymore.

Thanks

If you dim the string at the top of the module you can use it in your code

Set YourPic = .Parent.Pictures.Insert(YourVariable)

Thanks I had the problem of not using "Set" Before a Dimensioned YourPic So
that is working Now


I now have the question of how to position the Picture over the cell that i
want. For the most part it is in the correct position but it waviers up and
down a bit covering important info beneath it.


Here is a Snippit of my code

With ActiveSheet.Cells(PopRow, PopCol)
Set yourPic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(Picstring)
yourPic.Top = Cells(PopRow, PopCol).Top 'Here i expect the picture
to be set alligned with the top of the cell. (apparently it isnt working
correctly or i am having a different problem)
yourPic.Width = Cells(PopRow, PopCol).Width
yourPic.Height = Cells(PopRow, PopCol).Height
yourPic.Left = Cells(PopRow, PopCol).Left 'Here i expect the
picture to be set alligned with the side of the cell. (this seems to be
working perfectly)
End With

Hopefully you can answer this question also.

FOUND IT!

I swapped the yourPic.Top = Cells(PopRow, PopCol).Top from the top to the
bottom of the set of cell moving/sizing commands.

Thanks anyways
