I have a spreadsheet with a column "URL". What I would like to accomplish thru VB is push a button and a small image of the URL is displayed in the adjacent cell. Think of it in terms of a store that has multiple products, each with a different URL. The cell to the right would contain an image of what was displayed if I clicked that URL.

I have been meaning to try out this feature. Nice feature.
But, it appears that Microsoft in their wisdom (or lack of it) do not have a VBA object to use automation.

There is some discussion about a 3rd party tool for what it is worth.
If you find something interesting, please post it. There are some interesting uses for what you are describing.
