Help! LoadPicture on a Panther

[John Listerud]

Help!!!

I'm trying to port a VB application which runs out of the
macro/VB feature of Excel to a Panther running Office 200?
on Mac OSX.

Basically, I'm just trying to load a picture.
None of these code lines work.

Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(ae_file)

Set Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(ae_file)

Image1.Picture = ae_file

Attempts to break at the code line fail because the
interpreter flags the error AS SOON AS the subroutine is
called - error msg states that something-or-other is not
available and highlights "LoadPicture."

This makes me think that there is something missing in my
Office configuration, and not just a syntax error.
Attempts to re-load Microsoft Office with all the extra VBA
stuff I can identify don't seem to help.

The following syntax runs without any problems on MacOS 9.x
(Office 2001) and PC (Office 2002 and before):
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(ae_file)

HELP!!!

I just found Sean Arney's posting from May 27, 2004.
Looks like this is a "feature" and not just my imagination?

Unfortunately, there's no good news on this one. LoadPicture was broken
in XL v.X and didn't get fixed for XL04:
