Hi,

This is actually a VBA code for use in Power Point. The purpose is that employees enter some initials and then the profile picture is fetched from the Corporate Microsoft SharePoint site and inserted into a square with rounded corners.

However, I am having difficulty getting the URL address to function properly with inserting the Initials (XXXX). The format should be: https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/HQ/_layouts/15/UserPhoto.aspx?size=m&accountName=Initials@companyname.com"

Thanks for your help and inputs!

See code snippet below:
[CODE=vba]Public Sub InsertSharepointPic() 'Get user initials: Dim usr As String usr = UCase(CreateObject("wscript.network").UserName) 'Ask user for initials initials = InputBox(Prompt:="Initials of employee", Title:="Insert phonebook picture", Default:=usr) If initials = "" Then Exit Sub End If Dim r_margin As Double, l_margin As Double, t_margin As Double, b_margin As Double Call getSlideDim(r_margin, l_margin, t_margin, b_margin) ContinueProcess: 'make rounded rectangle to fill ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRoundedRectangle, l_margin, t_margin, 140, 122).Select 'fill rounded rectangle with picture With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange .Line.Visible = msoFalse .Fill.Transparency = 0# .Fill.Visible = msoTrue .Fill.UserPicture [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]"https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/HQ/_layouts/15/UserPhoto.aspx?size=m&accountName=" & initials & "@companyname.com"[/COLOR] End Sub[/CODE]
