Insert images as shapes instead of pictures

I am creating client reports that will need up to 200 pictures. I have the code to insert them, but it brings them in as linked objects, so clients can't see them since the pictures aren't on their network.

I found some code to insert them as shapes, but I'm not advanced enough to adapt my existing code to use Shapes.AddPicture, or vice versa. Can anyone advise on how to make this change?


Code:
Function insert1(PicPath, counter1)
'Formats Column A Pictures
    With ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(PicPath)
        With .ShapeRange
            .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue    'If you uncomment both Width and Height lines below change to 'msoFalse'
            '.Width = 50      'Adjust to change the WIDTH of your pictures - COMMENTED OUT
            .Height = 198    'Adjust to change the HEIGHT of your pictures
        End With
        .Left = ActiveSheet.Range("B" & counter1).Left
        .Top = ActiveSheet.Range("B" & counter1).Top
        .Placement = 1
        .PrintObject = True
    End With
End Function



Thanks so much!!
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Code:
Dim p As Object
Set p = Workbooks(wbName).Sheets(stName).Shapes.AddPicture(Filename:=Path &  _
                    filename & ".jpg", LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True, Left:=ActiveCell.Left, _
                    Top:=ActiveCell.Top, Width:=-1, Height:=-1)

-1 sets the original size. If you know the size you want, plug it in.
