SYMPTOMS
If you change the picture that is assigned to an Image control on a UserForm using the Click event for the Image control, the picture on the Image control may not be updated.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this problem, assign a new picture to the Image control, and then use the Repaint method in a Visual Basic for Applications macro to update the UserForm. The example in this article uses the Repaint method to update the UserForm. To create and use the sample macro, use the following steps:  Close and save any open workbooks, and then create a new workbook. Start the Visual Basic Editor (press ALT+F11). On the Insert menu, click UserForm. Draw an Image control on the UserForm. Double-click the Image control to display the Code window for the UserForm.  In the module, type the following code for the Image control Click event: Private Sub Image1_Click Dim fname As String

' Display the Open dialog box. fname = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:= _           "Image Files(*.bmp),*.bmp", Title:="Select Image To Open")

' Load the picture into the Image control. Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(fname)

' Update the UserForm. Me.Repaint

End Sub  Run the UserForm. To do this, switch to the UserForm and click Run Sub/UserForm on the Run menu.</li> Click the Image control. In the "Select Image to Open" dialog box, click a bitmap file and click Open.</li></ol>

The bitmap file that you select appears in the Image control.
