Hello MVP's,

I believe this to be quite easy, however, I just don't know the right syntax for it.

My question is about the following line: Rng.Text = vbNullString '<-- This only deletes text, not images

Sometimes I want to replace an existing client image, however, the code posts an additional image everytime, while it should delete the existing one.
Perhaps I haven't inserted the image into the bookmark, but instead after it.

I have tried the following, which didn't work: Set Rng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Client_logo").Range.InsertBefore

Code:
Sub AutoLogo()
[COLOR=#008000]
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Populate textbox: txtLogo
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#008000]'Establish connection[/COLOR]
Set dbs = OpenDatabase("C:\Users\Public\Downloads\Contacts.accdb")

[COLOR=#008000]'Fill recordset with data matching the text of combo cboContacts[/COLOR]
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Select * FROM Projects WHERE Projects.Project_Number & '   ' & Projects.Project_Title = '" & Me.cboContacts.Text & "';")
    
[COLOR=#008000]'Fill Textbox with Hyperlink from Databasa[/COLOR]
txtLogo.Value = ("" & rst.Fields("Hyperlink"))


[COLOR=#008000]''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Fill 'Client_logo' bookmark in document header
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''[/COLOR]

Dim ClientLogo As InlineShape
Dim Rng As Range

[COLOR=#008000]'Identify current Bookmark range and insert image[/COLOR]
Set strBM = txtLogo
    With ActiveDocument
        Set Rng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Client_logo").Range
            
            Rng.Text = vbNullString [COLOR=#b22222]'<-- [B]This only deletes text, not images[/B][/COLOR]
                Set ClientLogo = .InlineShapes.AddPicture(FileName:=strBM, LinkToFile:=False, Range:=Rng)
                    With ClientLogo
                        .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
                        .Width = CentimetersToPoints(3.5)
                        .Height = CentimetersToPoints(1.25)
                    End With
                
                [COLOR=#008000]'Re-insert the bookmark[/COLOR]
                .Bookmarks.Add "Client_logo", Rng
    End With

End Sub

Thank you for looking into my problem.

Kind regards,
Rolf

I solved the problem. For those who are interested:

This code replaces an existing image (including those in header and footer, if that's where your bookmark is) in a certain bookmark with another based on the selection in a database.

Code:
With ActiveDocument

[COLOR=#008000]        'Identify current Bookmark range
[/COLOR]        If .Bookmarks.Exists("Client_logo") Then
            Set Rng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Client_logo").Range
            With Rng
[COLOR=#008000]                'Delete existing image (if applicable)[/COLOR]
                While .InlineShapes.Count > 0
                    .InlineShapes(1).Delete
                Wend
            End With
[COLOR=#008000]            'Place new image[/COLOR]
            Set ClientLogo = .InlineShapes.AddPicture(FileName:=strBM, LinkToFile:=False, Range:=Rng)
        End If

[COLOR=#008000]        'Resize image[/COLOR]
        With ClientLogo
            .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
            .Width = CentimetersToPoints(3.5)
            .Height = CentimetersToPoints(1.25)
        End With
                
[COLOR=#008000]        'Re-insert the bookmark[/COLOR]
        .Bookmarks.Add "Client_logo", Rng

End With

It wasn't so difficult after all, but perhaps someone else wants to know the answer in the future.
