    Load PNG File in Userform Image Control

    Gents,

    I use a image control to load an exported image. When i use the gif or jpg i have no problems. But as soon i want to import the png file format it gives an error. When i use a Image1 and try loading a png through the image propertys it give the message invalid file.

    I export the gif with a transparent background but the quality is realy poor thats why i want to use PNG


    Code:
    Private Sub UpdateChart()
        Dim Fname As String
        Dim i As Integer
        
        
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        
        For i = 1 To 3
            Sheets("DASHBOARD").ChartObjects(i).Activate
            ActiveChart.Parent.Width = 400
            ActiveChart.Parent.Height = 180
        
        '   Save chart as GIF
            Fname = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & i & "_temp.gif"
            ActiveChart.Export FileName:=Fname, FilterName:="GIF"
            Me.Controls("Image" & i).Picture = LoadPicture(Fname)
            
            Application.ScreenUpdating = True
        Next
    End Sub

    Did you try changing the file extension to .png and keep the filter as GIF

    Code:
    Fname = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & i & "_temp.png"
    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve
