attaching pictures as an icon

[Bruce the Shark]

Hi I am trying to save memory in an excel report and I
wish to include a picture in this report as an icon that
shows the picture when selected.

If you're going to try to save memory in the workbook, then it sounds like the
big picture will be outside excel (a common LAN folder???).

If yes, then maybe you could create thumbnails of each of your pictures (using
????) and then add a hyperlink to each thumbnail.

The hyperlink would use whatever program is associated with the extension to
open the big picture--outside of excel completely.

(I don't know how you'd include the big picture and still save memory if you had
to embed the picture in excel.)
