I understood "cell box" to be a cell, like "A1", on the on the worksheet.

I am attaching a workbook with the macro. Type the file path into "A2" and the file name into cell "B2" and click the button. The image button will display the file. If an error occurs then a dialog window will display the error number, description, the file path, and file name.

There is a way for write just the filename without to write everytime the file extension?

I changed the code to automatically add ".jpg" to the file name. The change is in blue text.

Hello,

I have a userform with a textbox field, a search command button, and an image. I am trying to find code to so that I can search for a file name (the picture name should be written in textbox) from a file on the computer of an image that will then cause that image to come up in the image once the command button is clicked. I am a novice at VBA/Macro. The images are all located on the C drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
