Hi,

I use the following code which works as wanted:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


Dim myPicture
Dim MyObj As Object


Application.ScreenUpdating = False


Sheets("Kumkort").Unprotect


myPicture = Application.GetOpenFilename _
("Bilder (*.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png; *.bmp; *.tif),*.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png; *.bmp; *.tif", _
, "Velg bilde som skal settes inn")


If VarType(myPicture) = vbBoolean Then Exit Sub


    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets("Kumkort").Shapes("Kumkort_bilde1").Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets("Kumkort").Shapes("Kumkort_bilde2").Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets("Kumkort").Shapes("Kumkort_bilde3").Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Sheets("Kumkort").Shapes("Kumkort_bilde4").Delete
    On Error GoTo 0


Range("B23").Select


Set MyObj = Sheets("Kumkort").Pictures.Insert(myPicture)


    With MyObj
        With .ShapeRange
        .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
        .Height = 328
        '.Width = 434
        .Top = Range("B23").Top
        .Left = Range("B23").Left
        .Name = "Kumkort_bilde1"
        End With
    .Placement = xlMoveAndSize
    End With
    
Set MyObj = Nothing


    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Kumkort_bilde1")).Select
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop 5
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 5


Sheets("Kumkort").Protect


Application.ScreenUpdating = True


Kumkort_BildeForm.Hide


End Sub

The only thing is that I would like the code to insert the image without link to the image file. That is; the Excel workbook should be possible to send to different users, and the image file path could be changed..

I have found something like
Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddPicture

But it doesn't work when I replace the existing code with this..
 
I can't see anything wrong with the code offhand. Where are the pictures ending up exactly?

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Image1 is inserted correctly
Image2 is inserted in cell M23 (instead of S23)
Image3 is inserted in cell B30 (instead of B35)
Image4 is inserted in cell M30 (instead of S35)

Can you try stepping through the code just to check if the images are misplaced as soon as they are inserted, or whether they get moved?
