    Using Excel Macro to open images

    Hi,

    I have used excel to create a movie list which contains about 3000 movie's in range A9 to about A3000 if that makes sense, I would like to link an image to each movie so that the user can right click and choose the option to 'View Cover' and the image corresponding to that movie would be displayed. Do you have any idea about how I should go about doing this?

    Andrew

    how do you want to view the cover, within excel or to open the default viewer for image files of that type?

    for the latter use shellexecute API (many examples in this forum), if the former, you would need some image container, in your worksheet or a userform, to show the image in

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
