Hi!

In Worksheet1 I have a lot of shapes, some has same name.
I want to rename all shapes in Worksheet1 to: Picture1, Picture2, Picture3, Picture4, ..... and so on.
Please help.

HTML:
Function ShapeAtActiveCell() As String
Dim Sh As Shape

For Each Sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    If Sh.TopLeftCell.Address = ActiveCell.Address Then
       ShapeAtActiveCell = Sh.Name
       ActiveSheet.Shapes(ShapeAtActiveCell).Select
       Exit Function
    End If
Next
End Function

'--------------

Sub RenameShapes()
Dim p As String, n As Long
p = "Picture"
n = 1000

For i = 1 To n
   With Worksheets("Sheet1")
     .Shapes(ShapeAtActiveCell).Name = p + i
   End With
Next
End Sub

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.
How about
Code:
Sub RenameShapes()
Dim sh As Shape, i As Long
For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
   i = i + 1
   sh.Name = "Picture" & i
Next sh
End Sub
