As yet I have not had the time to update it! - Sorry Hi Ruoall,

The sample files work perfectly, but as soon as I try to replicate it in Excel 2007 it doesnt work all that well. I have also tried the lightbox found here: www.juiceanalytics.com/writing/lightboxing-images-in-excel The background shading does not appear and the buttons do not hide themselves when displaying the lightbox images. Your comments or suggestions would be higly appreciated. Thank you, Ruoall Chapman Hi,

It sure is quick and easy too. There are a few draw back of course, comments are rubbish IMHO, and I don't think you could link a comment to a live picture - could you? Excellent idea though, I'm make a note of it! thanks Ross That’s a very good idea Jeff. It sure is quick and easy too.

The good thing about these is that they appear on mouseover. Another way to implement something like lightboxes in Excel is to use comments with picture backgrounds.
