    Insert and resize photos

    Hello,

    I am new to vba and only know basics. I am not even sure if this can be done via VBA. What i am trying to do is:

    1. I have hundreds of workbooks in a folder -- Same format -- same structure -- same size -- same fonts -- but different data.
    2. I want to insert photographs in the workbook -- Save workbook --- exit.

    Workbook basically is a set of 4 clinical cards for employees of a company. It has basic details like blood group, BP, height, weight, cholesterol etc. All that is done and functional. Each book has 4 cards. What you see in attached workbook is front and back side of a card. It gets printed and folded from center to create a health card of an employee.

    What i want to do is:

    1. I have left empty space in card. K8 to L10.
    2. I have a folder with jpeg images of employees. Images are named on their EMP ID (employee ID) 7868.jpeg, 2423.jpeg etc..and UNIQUE.

    I want to insert photos into these hundreds of workbooks and resize them and fit into

    K8 to L10 empty space (first card)
    K25 to L27 (second) and so on for 4 cards..

    Workbooks are in a folder and named as 1,2,3,4.xlsx etc. I can set path of workbooks and path of pictures.

    If image is not found we can skip for that card. Hmmm For years, what i am doing is, Go to-->inserting image --> drag to the place---> resize---> adjust.
    It's very tedious work for 100s of files every week. Is there anyway to automate this? If so, i will worship VBA for years to come.

    Please find attached workbook.

    Re: Insert and resize photos

    I can create a workbook which has columns.

    A -- Path and name of the workbook with 4 cards.
    B -- jpeg file name of first card
    C--- jpeg file name of second card and so on..

    All that can be done. I have a central data to extract required info for coding if required.

    Thank you.
