How do I programmatically get access to a picture or graphic?

When automating Excel, is there a way to programmatically get access to a
picture without knowing if the file even contains a picture? My problem is
that pictures in an Excel file grab the focus when the file is opened and
mouse-clicks anywhere on the Excel window are lost.

No they don't. Something else is causing your problem.

To counteract the problem, try this:

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
