The following VBA is at least pretty close to working. The picture appears slightly below the top of the cell, but that could be due to a narrow top boundary in the picture.

Dim picCurrent As Picture
Dim shtPics As Worksheet
Set shtPics = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Const ksPic1 As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Document
+s\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Blue hills.jpg"
Const ksPic2 As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Document
+s\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Sunset.jpg"
Set picCurrent = shtPics.Pictures.Insert(ksPic1)
Set picCurrent = shtPics.Pictures.Insert(ksPic2)

Dim nHPos As Long
Dim nVPos As Long
Dim rTarget As Range
Set rTarget = ActiveSheet.Range("F10")
Dim nRow As Long
Dim nCol As Long
nHPos = 0
nVPos = 0
For nRow = 1 To rTarget.Row - 1
    nVPos = nVPos + ActiveSheet.Cells(nRow, 1).Height
Next nRow
For nCol = 1 To rTarget.Column - 1
    nHPos = nHPos + ActiveSheet.Cells(1, nCol).Width
Next nCol

picCurrent.Top = nVPos
picCurrent.Left = nHPos

That would make the Perl something like:

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Win32::OLE;

my $xl;
$xl = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application');
$xl->{Visible} = 1;
my $wb = $xl->Workbooks->Add;
my $shtPics = $wb->Sheets("Sheet1");
my $picCurrent = $shtPics->Pictures->Insert("C:\\Documents and Setting
+s\\All Users\\Documents\\My Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\Blue hills.jpg
+");

my $nHPos = 0;
my $nVPos = 0;
my $rTarget = $shtPics->Range("F10");
for (1..$rTarget->Row - 1) {
    $nVPos += $shtPics->Cells($_, 1)->Height;
}
for (1..$rTarget->Column - 1) {
    $nHPos += $shtPics->Cells(1, $_)->Width;
}

$picCurrent = $shtPics->Pictures->Insert("C:\\Documents and Settings\\
+All Users\\Documents\\My Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\Sunset.jpg");
$picCurrent->{Top} = $nVPos;
$picCurrent->{Left} = $nHPos;

Again, the Perl is untested.Update: tested, debugged & replaced the code.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
