Tough one - image and embedded html document
 

In a hidden Excel sheet I have embedded an HTML document which I then launch
when a button is clicked. This html document is custom help for the program
contained in the file. It all works very nicely.

What I would like to be able to do is incorporate a screen shot or two in
the html help file, the problem is, you would normally reference images to
appear in html using an anchor such as <a href="MyPath\to\MyFile.jpg".

Since I want all of the help to be self-contained or on-board in the program
file itself, does anyone know how I can paste image(s) into a spread sheet
and then reference it in my html document to make it appear in the help file
when opened?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, I was thinking Image but wrote code for hyperlink.

The code to insert an image in html is <img src="MyPath\to\MyImage.jpg"

But, my original question still stands...any ideas?

If you activate (obj.activate) the imbedded file will launch an ie
application. You can get the tag (img) using the following

Set myimage = IE.Document.getElementsByTagName("img")

Windows only ? If so, you could maybe try an MHT file (contains the images,
encoded in Base64 [?])

You could do this by saving your HTML file (with local images loaded) as
*.mht and then embedding that instead of a plain html file.
