Embedding Images in Excel Workbook

    Embedding Images in Excel Workbook

    Hello,

    I am dynamically creating excel workbooks by generating a htm file
    inside of a VB app, then opening the htm file in excel, and then saving
    the workbook in standard excel format (xls). The only problem I have
    is that my images are saved as "Linked" instead of "Embedded" images.

    Example HTM:
    ....
    <td>
    <img src="file:///\\myserver\share\image.jpg">
    </td>
    ....

    Since the image is linked, if the image file on the server where to be
    moved or deleted, all of the workbooks that reference that image would
    just contain a place holder.

    Is there a way to go through all of the shape objects (images) in excel
    and switch it from being a linked to embedded image so that it gets
    saved inside of the xls file??

    Thanks

    Dan

    "YourFIleName" , Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False).Select
