Insert a gif image in a spreadsheet

[Rafael Nenninger]

I tried implementing it by converting a regular excel macro:
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:\images\header.gif").Select
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft -424.5
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -346.5

into asp code:
set objXL = server.createobject("OWC.Spreadsheet")
objXL.ActiveSheet.pictures.Insert(server.MapPath("..")
&"\images\rtlogo.gif") objXL.Selection.shapeRange.IncrementLeft -424.5
objXL.Selection.shapeRange.IncrementTop -346.5

But I got this error message
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'pictures'

Is there a way to insert an image (or an object referencing an image)?

Thanks,

Rafael

the closest you can come is to insert a hyperlink pointing to the image thru
the address property of the active sheet. excel does not support embedded
objects in the spreadsheet

that functionality is not supported. the spreadsheet only supports embedding
hyperlinks. Nothing else. The hack in the black book allows you to put
objects on top of the spreadsheet, not IN the spreadsheet
