Insert Picture
 

I am using the following Macro to insert a picture into a protected sheet

Sub testme()
Dim myPictName As Variant
Dim myPict As Picture
Dim wks As Worksheet

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

myPictName _
= Application.GetOpenFilename("Picture files, *.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif")
If myPictName = False Then
MsgBox "try later!"
Exit Sub
End If

With wks
.Unprotect Password:="hi"
With .Range("a1:B9")
Set myPict = .Parent.Pictures.Insert(myPictName)
myPict.Top = .Top
myPict.Left = .Left
myPict.Width = .Width
myPict.Height = .Height
End With
.Protect Password:="hi"
End With

End Sub

The macro resizes a picture to fit the cell range

Is it possible to fit a picture into the cell range and keep its
proportions? (ie make it fit into the cell range and relatively keep its
normal height and width)

Additionally, can you tell the macro to enable "Edit Object" in tools -
protection - sheet protect prior to Password Protecting again?

Insert Picture
 

Sub testme()
Dim myPictName As Variant
Dim myPict As Picture
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim nScaleWide As Double
Dim nScaleHigh As Double
Dim nScale As Double

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

myPictName _
= Application.GetOpenFilename("Picture files, *.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif")
If myPictName = False Then
MsgBox "try later!"
Exit Sub
End If

With wks
.Unprotect Password:="hi"
With .Range("a1:B9")
Set myPict = .Parent.Pictures.Insert(myPictName)
nScaleWide = myPict.Width / .Width
nScaleHigh = myPict.Height / .Height
nScale = IIf(nScaleWide < nScaleHigh, nScaleHigh, nScaleWide)
myPict.Top = .Top
myPict.Left = .Left
myPict.Width = myPict.Width / nScale
myPict.Height = myPict.Height / nScale
End With
'.Protect Password:="hi"
End With

End Sub

Insert Picture
 

Thanks Bob. That works great.

Is there any way that the picture can be centred vertically in the range of
cells instead of at the top?

Insert Picture
 

Try this, It centres vertically and horizontally in case it scales long as
against wide.

Sub testme()
Dim myPictName As Variant
Dim myPict As Picture
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim nScaleWide As Double
Dim nScaleHigh As Double
Dim nScale As Double
Dim nWidth As Double
Dim nHeight As Double

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

myPictName _
= Application.GetOpenFilename("Picture files, *.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif")
If myPictName = False Then
MsgBox "try later!"
Exit Sub
End If

With wks
.Unprotect Password:="hi"
With .Range("a1:B9")
Set myPict = .Parent.Pictures.Insert(myPictName)
nScaleWide = myPict.Width / .Width
nScaleHigh = myPict.Height / .Height
nScale = IIf(nScaleWide < nScaleHigh, nScaleHigh, nScaleWide)
nWidth = myPict.Width / nScale
nHeight = myPict.Height / nScale
myPict.Width = nWidth
myPict.Height = nHeight
myPict.Top = (.Height - nHeight) / 2
myPict.Left = (.Width - nWidth) / 2
End With
.Protect Password:="hi"

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your help on this macro

I tried it. For some reason it moves the picture directly above and outside
of the preset (a1:b9) range

It must be the way I have the sheet set up. I will have to check it over to
see what I have done. Thanks for your help
