How to create a drop down menu for objects

Guest

Is it possible to create a drop down menu for objects in the worksheet? I
have a worksheet that students enter some data in it and then, they have to
draw some simple logos in relation to the result of data. I have made the
logos (a total of 20)using the drawing tool and have put them on the
worksheet so that students can mouse-drag them to the designated locations. I
though if I can create a drop-down menu and put all the objects in it, the
worksheet would like very clean and easy to work with.
Thanks for your help or any comments in advance.

b. Try this post by Bob Phillips
where he provides the code to retrieve pictures
via data validation selections to a location near the DV cell:
