I am running xl2K under WinXP. I wish to assign a picture file to an Image control. I can do it manually by creating the Image control (essentially a shape) and then diddling with properties to define the jpg file, picture format, etc. But when I look at the code created via the macro recorder, most of what I did is not there. Controlling the creating, location, size, etc., with VBA is pretty easy, but how do I assign the jpg file and the picture format.
