I am running this, which is taking a screen shot, pasting, resizing, but I use two monitors, and it pastes both monitors screen shot on the page, and i want to crop off the right side,

VBA Code:
Application.SendKeys "({1068})", True
DoEvents
Sheets("Screen Shots").Paste

Dim shp As Shape
With ActiveSheet
    Set shp = .Shapes(.Shapes.Count)
End With
shp.Height = 600
shp.Width = 800

Dim h As Single, w As Single
h = -(600 - shp.Height)
w = -(1200 - shp.Width)

shp.LockAspectRatio = False
shp.PictureFormat.CropRight = w
shp.PictureFormat.CropBottom = h

When i run the last three lines of code, it doesn't crop anything off, it just makes the image smaller,

how can i tell excel to crop the right side off to a certain size?
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
The code works when valid values are placed in these 2 lines ( instead of w and h )
VBA Code:
shp.PictureFormat.CropRight =  100
shp.PictureFormat.CropBottom = 250

Are w and h giving you valid values >=0

Test those values by inserting
VBA Code:
MsgBox "h: " & h & vbCr & "w " & w
below
VBA Code:
w = -(1200 - shp.Width)

Amend the formulas for h & w accordingly
