    Insert Picture in cell, click commanbutton to rename picture, lock cell and remove button

    I have a workbook that will be distributed to co-workers. There is one page visible where there is 6 cells unlocked for them to size a picture to fit the area. Beside this is a "commandbutton1" which they will then click, changing the name of the picture to "picture 1", locking cells, changing to none what users are allowed to do after protecting, removing the commandbutton and lock the sheet. I have tried doing this with the recorder, but it seems to miss steps. I do not know what the picture will be called when fit into the open cells, how do I name this to rename it? Is there a wildcard? Thanks.

    Try the following code, which needs to be placed in the code module for the sheet (right-click the sheet tab, and select 'View Code')...

    If the worksheet is protected without a password, replace...

    with

    Also, the merged cells do not need to be Locked in order to insert a picture. So if the user only needs to insert a picture and doesn't need to enter any data within the merged cells, they can be left Locked and the following lines of code can be deleted...

    Note that in a protected worksheet "Edit Objects" needs to be checked in order to allow users to insert a picture.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks Domenic! Works awesome! What triggers the message? I have not been able to get it to pop up.

    Figured it out. I had my image off to the side, but it was called the same, so it must have picked it up. I deleted it and ran the macro and then the message appeared, voila!

    Thanks again!

    Yeah, the message will appear when there's no picture within the merged cells.

    I'm glad I could help. And thanks for the feedback.

    Cheers!
