    inserting photos and attaching them to cells excel 2007

    I designed a standard " defect list" in excel, where the engineers can write down the defects they find on the building site.
    the problem is that for each defect a photo must be attached and that can be up to 500 photos.

    In excel 2003 I recorded a very basic macro that resized and inserted the photo to the cells. however I had to attach the photos manually to the cells.

    But now we are using 2007 and it doesn't work anymore, I googled and got some so called VBA macro things but I cant get the things working.

    What I look for is a macro that inserts the photo into the cell, and resizes it (landscape and portrait) and attach the photo to the cell (because when I hide the row I also want the photo to be hidden).

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Have you considered using a hyperlink to the file, instead of inserting the actual pic into the workbook? That way, when the hyperlink is clicked, the pic opens for the user
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
