Inserting a graphic into Excel with VB

**deep_fork** · Nov 23rd, 1999, 05:25 AM

I have a VB document server program that takes data from text files and stuffs it into Excel templates. My problem is that I need to also put a graphics file (bitmap, gif, or JPG) into the Excel file as well and I can't figure out how to do it. Any ideas?

Hi,
U'll need to use the Windows clipboard for this. Use the selection object. There's good stuff on this in the MSDN.

well, it's not really, i think also because the server was shifted and a fair few old posts were deleted.
