Hello all! I'm new to this website and have been scouring some forums on here to try to get a VBA code to work that selects every photo, pictures, or shape that is in an active cell's row. What my code does so far is insert photos from the file explorer but I'm trying to keep those inserted photos selected to move about afterward.

Here's what I've got so far:

VBA Code:
Sub InsertMultiplePictures()
Dim Pictures() As Variant
Dim PictureFormat As String
Dim PicRng As Range
Dim PicShape As Shape
Dim myshapearray() As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Pictures = Application.GetOpenFilename(PictureFormat, MultiSelect:=True)
PicColIndex = Application.ActiveCell.Column
If IsArray(Pictures) Then
    PicRowIndex = Application.ActiveCell.Row
    For lLoop = LBound(Pictures) To UBound(Pictures)
        Set PicRng = Cells(PicRowIndex, PicColIndex)
        Set PicShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddPicture(Pictures(lLoop), msoFalse, msoCTrue, PicRng.Left, PicRng.Top, PicRng.Width, PicRng.Height)
        PicColIndex = PicColIndex + 1
    Next
End If

For Each Shape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    If Shape.Left > Range("A1").Left + Range("A1").Width / 2 And Shape.Left < (Range("C1").Left - Range("B1").Width / 2) Then
        k = k + 1
        ReDim Preserve myshapearray(1 To k) As String
        myshapearray(k) = Shape.Name
    End If
Next
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(myshapearray).Select

End Sub

The last For Each I found that selects every pictures in a preset column so it's the closest I've gotten. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Try this version:
VBA Code:
'...
Dim cRow As Long                            'ADDED
'...
cRow = ActiveCell.Row                       'ADDED
For Each SHAPE In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    If SHAPE.TopLeftCell.Row = cRow Then    'Modified IF
''    If SHAPE.Left > Range("A1").Left + Range("A1").Width / 2 And SHAPE.Left < (Range("C1").Left - Range("B1").Width / 2) Then  'DELETED
        k = k + 1
        ReDim Preserve myshapearray(1 To k) As String
        myshapearray(k) = SHAPE.Name
    End If
Next
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(myshapearray).Select
'...
