Thanks for your reply, but your approach is much too specific, i.e., name of ImageControl, how it is created, how it is accessed, etc. Also, no matter what I named the ImageControl, e.g., "Person_Image" or anything else, the

[vba]With Person_Image[/vba] (or whatever I called it) line of code generated an immediate error. Part of the problem is that although the manual method appears to create a ImageControl (and I can fiddle with it manually), the macro recorder code generates a shape that has no "picture" attribute

So let's go back to square one; I need a method to create an ImageControl via VBA. No manual steps.
