I remember reading that this could be done in earlier versions of Excel and if memory serves I also remember trying it but that when the picture was inserted the quality of the picture deteriorated badly.
Has anyone come up with a solution to this for Excel 2000 & 2002 ?
Thank you

Can you clarify what you're trying to do?

I've done some progress and now CAN click a cell tha's behind a picture in Excel 2002 ...
I've also introduced this code but need to change it

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
For Each a In Selection
MsgBox "You have chosen " + a.Value


Next

End Sub


I want to set a range (i.e.) B1:G25 where the change event would work only
Instead of a message box I need to see the value of a selected cell in the above range in cell A1

So this is the article I've read in the past.
The technique Bob Umlas describes works.(no need for camera) and this is what I did.

I still need a solution to part two ......
" I want to set a range (i.e.) B1:G25 where the change event would only work,

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1:G25")) Is Nothing Then
Range("A1") = Target
End If
End Sub
