I recorded an Excel macro to embed an image and got the following
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(Filename:="C:\aaaaa\700 plate selection.jpg
+", _
        Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False).Select

[download]
However, I found a difference when I ran this macro on 2 PCs.
On the 1st PC all was well and I could see the image.
On the 2nd PC all I got was a rectangle with the name of the image in the rectangle.
I could see the image when I double clicked on the rectangle.
I am not aware of any settings for Excel that gives this difference.
What do I do to ensure that I always see the image as I found on the 1st PC
P.S. I have not yet started to convert the macro to Perl.
If anyone has the time to help I would appreciate it as I suspect I am going to have problems!
