Have 2 problems, both relate to shapes (pictures) embedded in an Excel spreadsheet which I want(ed) to move into a table in Access. Near as I can tell the shapes are not "tied" to the cells there in, or at least this is not "exposed". Can loop through the each shape in the 'sheet and see its' name and that's about it. Any suggestions on how to extract jpg (oleformat?) objects from an Excel worksheet greatly appreciated. (!)
