Does anyone have any pointers on how to access an imagefrom an excel file. i want to copy the image to a notes document
so far i have

Forall sh In xlsheet.shapes
'Export to filesystem
'pull and
Dim object As NotesEmbeddedObject
Print sh.name
sh.copyPicture

' call rtitem.
End Forall
can referance the shape
and can get the shape.name and also copy the image to clipboard (and subsequently manually paste it)but as this will be a server based agent I cant past it to a field,
I have to convert somhow to a notesembedded object....
