I'm currently using this code and it works but the images will not show up if I give the file to someone else
PictureLoc = "C:\\test\active" & Range("A2").Value & ".png"

I need it to grab the image from another sheet on the same workbook like sheet2
I tried this but it didn't work
PictureLoc = "(images!A2)" & Range("A2").Value & ".png"

please could someone help me with this
thanks, guys!
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Import it like in this example from "exceloffthegrid".
The "LinkToFile:=msoFalse" should make the difference.
Code:
Sub InsertImageToDeclaredVariable()

Dim myImage As Shape
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim imagePath As String
Dim imgLeft As Double
Dim imgTop As Double

Set ws = ActiveSheet
imagePath = "C:\Users\marks\Documents\myImage.png"
imgLeft = ActiveCell.Left
imgTop = ActiveCell.Top

Set myImage = ws.Shapes.AddPicture( _
    Filename:=imagePath, _
    LinkToFile:=msoFalse, _
    SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, _
    Left:=imgLeft, _
    Top:=imgTop, _
    Width:=-1, _
    Height:=-1)

'Use the variable for the created image
MsgBox myImage.Name

End Sub
