Hi and thanks in advance!

I am inserting a image located in a webside in a cell

VBA Code:
dim rCell as range:                           Set rCell=ActiveCell
dim wURL as string:                           wURL="https://logodix.com/logo/701195.jpg"  'Just for this eg
        Set PIC = Nothing:                    Set PIC = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(wURL)
        If PIC Is Nothing Then
          xPicWrong = xPicWrong + 1
        Else
          xPicOK = xPicOK + 1
          With PIC.ShapeRange
            .LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
            .Top = rCell.Top
            .Left = rCell.Left
            If .Width > rCell.Width Then
              .Width = rCell.Width * 5 / 7
              .Left = rCell.Left + (rCell.Width * 1 / 7)
            End If
            If .Height > rCell.Height Then
              .Height = rCell.Height * 5 / 7
              .Top = rCell.Top + (rCell.Height * 1 / 7)
            End If
          End With
          PIC.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
        End If
      End If

The picture goes perfect, but if for any reason I increase the column Width or the row height, the picture keeps the previous size, does no resize accordingly

What am I missing ?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
This is an old function I made that always seemed to work.

VBA Code:
Private Sub InsertPic(filePath As String, ByVal insertCell As Range)
    Dim xlShapes As Shapes
    Dim xlPic As Shape
    Dim xlWorksheet As Worksheet

    If IsEmpty(filePath) Or Len(Dir(filePath)) = 0 Then
        MsgBox ("File Path invalid")
        Exit Sub
    End If

    Set xlWorksheet = ActiveSheet
    
    Set xlPic = xlWorksheet.Shapes.AddPicture(filePath, msoFalse, msoCTrue, insertCell.Left, insertCell.Top, insertCell.Width, insertCell.Height)
    xlPic.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
    xlPic.LockAspectRatio = msoCTrue
End Sub

OK, looks like when the picture keeps the cell's size works fine
But if the picture is a bit smaller is there any way of getting the same
Thanks again
