In an Office application or its own?
For the latter try

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim MyFile As String, Cmd As String
MyFile = "C:\AAA\MyChartA.jpg"
Cmd = "RunDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLL "
Shell (Cmd & MyFile)
End Sub

in its own program...
i need it to store the file in the .exe and display it when a command button is pressed, i can use it to link to the picture on the net but i am trying to make the command button invisible... any way to do that and have it clickable and all?

I don't believe you can click an invisible button, but I seem to recall you can make a rectangle clickable, and you could "hide" it by removing the border and making it the same colour as the background.

Could you explain a bit more what you are trying to do? I am not following.
i need it to store the file in the .exe and display it when a command button is pressed"Store the file in the .exe".

Uh...say what? Ummmm, what has this to do with VBA? It does not make sense. Please elaborate.

AutoCAD allows you also to run an app or two from the command line, like "browser" command, but you can set your own. You could make your button like 98% transparent, and still click it. the are api's and alot of examples
