Deleting pictures using VBA??

[Richard1284]

Hi all,

Can anyone help me, I have inserted a picture
ie.
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("F:\Dss\ass\Arran1.jpg").Select

Now all I want to do is delete it using VBA. Unfortunately I have n
idea. When I tried ActiveSheet.Pictures.Delete it deletes my cmdButton
too.

Any ideas??

Hi Richard,

When you open the picture, set a variable to that pic, like so

Dim myPic As Picture
Dim sPic As String

sPic = ("F:\Dss\ass\Arran1.jpg"
Set myPic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(sPic)

and then you can simply delete it via the variable

myPic.Delete

small typo, should be

Dim myPic As Picture
Dim sPic As String

sPic = "F:\Dss\ass\Arran1.jpg"
Set myPic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(sPic)
