    Display Photo from Folders

    Ok so I have research many options and cant get one to work. What I have is a dropdown menu and based on which value is selected I want a photo displayed.

    What I have right now is the main sheet with a dropdown and a 2nd sheet with a table of the dropdown values in one column and the matching file location. I want these in a folder so if someone needs to update a photo they can make a new file with the same name and just copy it into the folder without messing with excel. I have it set up so when the dropdown is selected, below it is a cell that shows the file location (I'll hide this once it works) and I was trying to just have a macro or vb code to use that to display the photo.

    I had it set up prior to work with photos on that 2nd sheet but trying to convert. I attached a demo below. Thanks for any help

    Hello rck3,

    I have added the the Worksheet_Change macro to the attached workbook. The picture will be loaded, if it can be located, into an Image Control on the "Home" worksheet.

    Thanks, that's what I was looking for. 1 issue is with photo sizing. I know I can adjust the photo box but I would like to have the image resize to fit the area. Right now its displaying a small section of the overall photo. Is this in the image properties or will it need to be done via the macro settings?

    Hello rck3,

    Glad you found it. For those of you who may want to know, you can set the AutoSize property to True.
