Hi everyone,

Hopefully an easy one for someone to help me with.

Can anyone supply the VBA to insert an image from file into a selected shape this is what the recorder gave me.
I would like the user to be able to choose an image from file and not restrict them to a pre-defined name.

Code:
Sub Stage1a()
'
' Stage1a Macro
'


'
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Rectangle 27")).Select
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .PresetTextured msoTexturePapyrus
        .TextureTile = msoTrue
        .TextureOffsetX = 0
        .TextureOffsetY = 0
        .TextureHorizontalScale = 1
        .TextureVerticalScale = 1
        .TextureAlignment = msoTextureTopLeft
    End With
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .UserPicture "C:\Users\Pictures\IMG_20180510_102823.jpg"
        .TextureTile = msoFalse
    End With
End Sub

Many thanks

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.
See if this works, not tested.
Code:
Sub Stage1a()
'
' Stage1a Macro
'


'
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Rectangle 27")).Select
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .PresetTextured msoTexturePapyrus
        .TextureTile = msoTrue
        .TextureOffsetX = 0
        .TextureOffsetY = 0
        .TextureHorizontalScale = 1
        .TextureVerticalScale = 1
        .TextureAlignment = msoTextureTopLeft
    End With
    With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
        .Visible = msoTrue
        With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) 
            .AllowMultiSelect = False
            .Show 
            Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.UserPicture .SelectedItems(1) 
         End With
        .TextureTile = msoFalse
    End With
End Sub
If that doesn't work then it may be a case of assigning the file path of the picture to a string variable before starting to work 'With' the shape.
