Get the right image from a sheet into an image control of another sheet

  • Hi EXCELlent people!


    Beginner first post... First of all congratulation for the forum. Used a lot as visitor and learn a lot... thanks!


    I am working on a recipes workbook and I need to ask for your help in order to retrieve an image (shape) from a sheet and show it into another one.


    I'll explain... I have a sheet with a "database" containing the name, category, author, ingredients, preparation, date inserted and a photo of each recipe.


    I inserted all the data in the sheet via a userform.


    So now I have a nice long list of recipes, one per row, with all the necessary data and a photo for each recipe in the last column (column 7 or G) named like Image1, Image2, Image3 etc.


    I am already able to get all the values of each recipe in Sheet1 into textboxes, calling them from a combobox dropdown list populated with the recipes names.


    But I can't figure out how to get the right photo for each recipe when showing the data.....



    How can I get the right picture for every recipe I'll call from the combobox?


    Any help will be really really really appreciated.


    PS I confess I have already asked the same question on mrexcel and excelforum but nobody answered me... not even a hint...

  • Please add links to your cross-posts. Thanks.

    Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: nothing works and they don’t know why

  • I cross posted during the weekend out of desperate stupidity. I was already reprehended from MrExcel and ExcelForum. Here are the links and my apologies.
