Hello All

Im trying to get a Logitech QuickCam Pro to take a picture of a persons face
and insert it into a worksheet in Excell,

I have 150 people to process and have found that the following keystrokes
will get the image ; (Alt I P then S) this then brings up the Wizard.

Unfortunaly I can choose the Print quality as it is greyed out as a result
my image is very grainy and low quality.

Can anyone tell me how to enable the print quality function in this box !
Its urgent too

Thanks
 
it might be better to keep excel turned off/unstated

then take all your pictures using the software that
came with the cam, saving all your pic's into a special
folder and have filenames that identify the pic to the person.

after you have saved your pics into a folder,
you can then open excel and insert each pic
wherever you need it to be.

You might be given
the option to insert the pic or link to it under
the "object" options. If you use the insert pic
then the pic will be embedded into the spreadsheet.

But inserting a pic per worksheet, will increase the size of the spreadsheet
file. And since you plan to use 150 pics or so, this may
not be a good idea, because the spreadsheet file will likely
get very very large and crash the file and your system.

The other option is to insert one pic per spreadsheet file.
Then make a main spreadsheet with 150 links of so to the sub set
of spreadsheets. This would be a bette method to
control. In addition to the main spreadsheet having a
table of links, you can also make a template that you
can use as a standard for the subsets.

Later, if
you advance into databases, MSAccess will
happily use all your spreadsheets if you choose
to convert them. Somewhere in my vast file system,
i have an employee database i made for a project
similar to yours.

i don't know how fancy is your cam software/wizard is.
but after the pic is captured with that software and they
are saved in a single location, you can use another
software to modify the pic's before inserting them into
excel.

One modification would be the file size. You can
use Picture manager which may have been included
in your office bundle, or other software like picassa from
google.

sorry for the length, but i thought some additional considerations
might be helpful for you......
