Userform Image: how to restore original pic?

[superlative]

I have an image box in a userform. It is supposed to contain a User Profile Pic. By default it has a silhouette of a "person".

profile.jpg

As the user navigates to different people, the image box will change picture to a filename: .picture = loadpicture(filename). However, if no profile picture has ever been configured for that user, I want the silhouette of the "person" to appear, so users will know the box is supposed to contain a profile pic.

How to do this?

I dynamically change the pic using:

imagebox.picture = loadpicture(filename). So if the person is not configured with a picture file, then filename = "". Can I do something like this:

??? This obviously doesn't work, or I wouldn't come here.

I don't want the default pic to point to a file location, because the .xlsm file is supposed to be shareable, and the user may not have the default profile pic in the right folder structure. So what I want is that when the userform loads, I store the default pic somewhere, then when the selected person has no profile pic, then I set: imagebox.picture = DefaultPic

Please help. Thanks!

I solved this by creating a second image, and making it invisible.

Then when I want to load up the default pic, I do:

imagebox.picture = picdefault.picture

FYI, you don't need another control. You can just load the original picture into a variable:

and then reset it whenever you need to, using:
