Hi there,

I have VBA to insert images from a filepath which is derived from a formula. The images insert just fine and are visible for me but if someone else opens the documents they cannot be seen (all settings are correct). I'm assuming I need to embed the images but cannot quite get the code correct. Here is the original code:
Code:
Sub URLPictureInsert()
    Dim Pshp As Shape
    Dim xRg As Range
    Dim xCol As Long
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("B52")
    For Each cell In Rng
    filenam = cell
    ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(filenam).Select
    Set Pshp = Selection.ShapeRange.Item(1)
    If Pshp Is Nothing Then GoTo lab
    xCol = cell.Column
    Set xRg = Cells(cell.Row, xCol)
    With Selection
            .ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
            If (.Height \ .Width) <= (Rng.Height \ Rng.Width) Then
                .Width = Rng.Width - 1
                .Left = Rng.Left + 1
                .Top = Rng.Top + ((Rng.Height - Selection.Height) / 2)
            Else
                .Top = Rng.Top + 1
                .Height = Rng.Height - 1
                .Left = Rng.Left + ((Rng.Width - Selection.Width) / 2)
            End If
            
            .Placement = xlMoveAndSize
            .PrintObject = True
    End With
lab:
    Set Pshp = Nothing
    Range("B52").Select
    Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Any suggestions much appreicated

NOTE: Have tried simply copying and pasting the images after the VBA is run, but it seems to only work sometimes. Other times the image are still unavailable

@yky thank yo so much for the quick reply. I am a bit of a vba novice and I don't think I'm adjusting the code correctly. Do you mind showing me how to amend the original code?
