Good Morning.

I have a worksheet set up with some code via BeforeDoubleClick to insert/remove "✓" in certain cells. Below is the current code to do so. It works flawlessly. I also have the worksheet protected so my users can not alter the layout etc...
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    Sheet1.Unprotect "8unch2015@"
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("f29,j29,n29,H30,l30,p30,i31,m31,q31,i32,m32,q32")) Is Nothing Then
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        If ActiveCell.Value = ChrW(&H2713) Then
            ActiveCell.ClearContents
        Else
            ActiveCell.Value = ChrW(&H2713)
        End If
        Cancel = True
    End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True
       Range("f29,j29,n29,H30,l30,p30,i31,m31,q31,i32,m32,q32").HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
    Sheet1.Protect "8unch2015@"
 End Sub

Is there a way to add a sub-routine within the BeforeDoubleClick function to allow my users to insert a picture in a completely different cell and save the picture with the file and not the link? Or do we need to use a different function like BeforeRightClick? I have cells AJ8:BA13, this size is not written in stone and may alter based on readability of picture. However this merged cell is where I would like to have the users insert the picture. I do not know the file path layout of where my users save the pictures on their computers. So this will need to be an undefined file path. The inserted picture should have the aspect ratio locked to maintain readability. I've attached a screen shot of the sheet as the mini sheet upload function does not display the cell sizing the same. Cell width and height are both set to 0.38cm in my file. Is there a way to upload the file itself. If there is a better way to write the insert/remove code, by all means I am open to suggestions as I am new to the coding.

(I wish the 10 minute edit limit was 15 minutes. I would have probably had at least a dozen fewer posts than I do now if that was the case.)

The sheet code module's code presented in the previous post is fine, but when I "decided" to finally put in Option Explicit at the beginning of the code in the standard module, I got two variable declaration errors. So, again, for sake of simplicity, consider this Revision 4!

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

'    .Name = "Pic" & Replace(ActiveCell.Address, "$", "")
    .ScaleHeight Factor:=1, RelativeToOriginalSize:=True
