Hi,
Hi I had to modify excel template VBA code to make image logo persistent outside the network
so I change simple Picture.Insert(pfile) to:

Set vOldShape = vSheet.Shapes(pName)

If Not vOldShape Is Nothing Then
vLeft = vOldShape.Left
vTop = vOldShape.Top
vWidth = vOldShape.Width
vHeight = vOldShape.Height

'Set vNewShape = vSheet.Pictures.Insert(pFile) -> old code

'changes:
Set vShape = vSheet.Shapes.AddPicture(Filename:=pfile, _
LinkToFile:=msoFalse, _
SaveWithDocument:=msoCTrue, _
Left:=vLeft, _
Top:=vTop, _
Width:=-1, _
Height:=-1)

With the commented out old code image is place correctly, but with the AddPicture is shifted to the left, why could it be?
I tried also to lock aspect ratio or not usuing -1 just properties of old image but not luck, anybody can help?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
also is it possible to embed image with Pictures.Insert so it be saved with document?
I need only that one functionality. thanks

Actually I know what is happening but not sure why, macro is using template with predefined shape.
When columns are inserted, AddPicture image don't move with shape but stays.
Not the case with Insert.Image which is moving with columns, any idea why?
