This should give the error at the Range("B9").select statement only.

this will work in VBA macro but you can not use this way in automation. also the the next statment, where does the objWorkSheet1 declared.
replace your code with the below and try

Code:
objWorkbook1.ActiveSheet.range("B9").Select 

objWorkbook1.ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:\Documents and Settings\msafiullah\Desktop\error.bmp")

Hi,

Thanks for your help.
It works kind of.
This code in below take a screen shot but takes too much space on excel sheet.

Code:
objWorkbook1.ActiveSheet.range("d3:f3").Select 

objWorkbook1.ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:\Documents and Settings\msafiullah\Desktop\error.bmp")

I want to insert the picture only from cell D3:F3 and enlarge the picture by clicking the picture.

Thanks.

Hi,
Someone can help me how i can insert a picture to the specified range?
Even if i specify range, it insert the picture outside the range.

below code inserts the picture but taking too much space on the excel sheet. Below code should insert the picture only from d3 to f3 but instead it inserts in almost entire sheet.

Code:
objWorkbook1.ActiveSheet.range("d3:f3").Select 

objWorkbook1.ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:\Documents and Settings\msafiullah\Desktop\error.bmp")

Thanks.

Hi,

We can not enlarge the picture by clicking on a cell. This can be done using a hyperlink.

There is a possiblities to insert an hyperlink which reffers to a path, below is the code

Code:
path_error_file = "C:\Documents and Settings\msafiullah\Desktop\\error.bmp" 

nName = "ScreenShot"

Desktop.CaptureBitmap path_error_file,True 

ExlFormula = "=HYPERLINK("&chr(34)&path_error_file&chr(34)&","&chr(34)&nName&chr(34)&")"

Set Excel = createobject("Excel.Application")

Set oBook = Excel.Workbooks.Open ("c:\MyExcel.xls")

oBook.ActiveSheet.cells(1,1).Formula = ExlFormula

oBook.Save

oBook.Close

-- Vinod

basically you can not insert a picture in a cell, Pictures are inserted in the worksheet and it will always float. what you can do is move or resize the picture inserted

Thanks for your help.
If I click the hyperlink(screeshot) works good in my machine. Actually, I am trying to take a screenshot of the error messages of the application and send to my manager. If I use hyperlink, I can see only the link name(screenshot) on the excel sheet. I may have 20 screenshots then 20 hyperlinks in excel. How can I send an email to my manager,the excel file and all the screenshots, so my manager can click the hyperlinks and see the screenshots?

Thanks.

bundle your excel sheet and the snapshot folder together and send it
