Solved: Insert comment pictures fill down.

[Shazam]

Hi everyone,



I'm trying to modify this code so it will insert comment with pictures in column A. Here what I got so far:

I left an example file below.

This where I originaly got the code from.

http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8789


[vba]Sub pix()


Dim rngCell As Range
Dim curWks As Worksheet
Dim c As Object
Dim Path As String



Set curWks = ActiveSheet


Path = "C:\" & Range("A2:a" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Text & ".jpg"


With rngCell.Offset(0, 0)
.AddComment("").Shape.Fill.UserPicture (Path)
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Comments
c.Shape.Width = 400
c.Shape.Height = 300
Next c
End With


End Sub[/vba]

Why insert a comment, you could use data validation like this:
[VBA]
With Range("A1").Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateInputOnly, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator _
:=xlBetween
.InputMessage = "You have a picture in this cell!"
End With
[/VBA]this shows no dropdown, doesn't require an input just shows a "comment" when the cell is selected!
