    Embed image in cell

    I have a dataset that includes the path and optionally an HTTPS URL to an image. Is it possible to embed this image in a cell?

    Short of that what might be some other options?

    Thank you

    You could insert the image into the Comment Box for that cell which would pop
    up whenever you mouseover the cell........

    Yes, that would work for one, but how might I programmaticlly add
    comments for each row (undetermined number) and set the comment fill
    picture?

    Thanks

    Thanks CLR

    I figured out part of this:

    Set Cm = Ws.Range("E2").AddComment
    Cm.Shape.Fill.UserPicture Ws.Range("D2").Value

    That will add a comment, and set the Comment to the picture value.

    Only I need to zip down the rows, however many there may be and do the
    same for each. The number of rows is indeterminable.

    Forgive me as I'm not familar with the Excel object library.

    Thanks

    Ok, here's the code I have.....it's a crude accumulation of stuff that I got
    off the newsgroups, but it works. It plays off a list of hyperlinks created
    with Jim Cone's Add-in called ListFiles,(available at
    http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primi...e/products.php ) which
    interrogates a directory and makes a list of links in excel. Then this macro
    applys the comment boxes with pictures therein to each cell in the range.
    It may not work exactly the same in your application, but might light the way
    some and/or maybe your code could be worked in......


    Sub PicsToCommentBoxs()
    '================================================
    'This macro will process a list of path/filenames for image files starting
    'in cell B5, installing the image file from each cell into it's Comment Box.
    'Images may be viewed by mouseover.
    'Macro created 2/13/2006 by Chuck Roberts
    '================================================
    'This section sets the Range of cells to be processed, starting at B5, if
    there
    'are NO cells with a value, or one cell only (B5), or more than one.
    Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
    With ActiveSheet
    If Range("B6").Value <> "" Then
    Set rng = .Range(.Range("B5"), .Range("B5").End(xlDown))
    ElseIf Range("b5") <> "" Then
    Set rng = .Range("b5")
    Else
    End
    End If
    End With
    'This section runs for each cell in the above range that contains a value.
    For Each cell In rng
    cell.Select
    On Error Resume Next
    If Selection.Value <> "" Then
    Selection.AddComment
    Selection.Comment.Visible = False
    Selection.Comment.Text Text:=""
    Selection.Comment.Visible = True
    Selection.Comment.Shape.Select True

    Selection.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
    Selection.ShapeRange.Height = 150
    Selection.ShapeRange.Width = 150

    Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
    Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.UserPicture ActiveCell.Value
    ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = False
    Else
    End
    End If
    Next
    End Sub
