how does one change the image shown in a picture object, without
removing the picture object and adding it again?

Best regards,

On a worksheet???

Did you use Insert|Picture to insert the picture or did you insert an image
control (from the control toolbox toolbar) and then insert a picture into that.

If you used Insert|Picture, I don't think you can change it--just delete and
add.

If you used the image control, then you could go into design mode, show the
properties and change the properties.

or in code...

Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.Picture _
= LoadPicture("C:\My Pictures\01.jpg")

You'll need a reference to OLE Automation (under Tools|references in the VBE).

the same kind of thing (loadpicture) in an image control on a userform.

Yes, I got the pictures collection from a worksheet and added a
picture to it, using the insert method exposed by the pictures object.
Did you use Insert|Picture to insert the picture or did you insert an image
control (from the control toolbox toolbar) and then insert a picture intothat.
It was a picture, not an image control.
If you used Insert|Picture, I don't think you can change it--just delete and
add.

However since I'm using the index property of the Picture object
"know" which image I'm accessing if I remove an image and add a new
one to replace it the indexes will have changed.
If you used the image control, then you could go into design mode, show the
properties and change the properties.

or in code...

  Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("Image1").Object.Picture _
            = LoadPicture("C:\My Pictures\01.jpg")

Image Control? How is this exposed by the Excel COM?
You'll need a reference to OLE Automation (under Tools|references in the VBE).
I'm automating excel using C++ and the Excel COM, all the help I've
found so far has been the VBA reference, VBA foruns and 3 msdn pages
that talk about MFC/C++ Office Automation. Is there a news group
dedicated do MFC/C++ Office automation? There must be a reazonable
amout of people automating excel this way, and hopefully they will be
helpful.
