Need some help Excel/???

[DaFinn]

So, I am making offers to my customers, and they need to be excel/ compatible form. I also need to include photos of the items. Now, for it to be simple, I want it to be only 1 file which has the photos. On each line I want the thumbnail, and I want it to show larger (maybe 320x240) photo when customer moves the mouse cursor on the image.

THING IS, I CANNOT USE MACROS. Most firewalls block the macros/ customers have macros disabled by their IT dept...

Also, preferably the photo would only be 1 embedded file (not thumb + large image). And "OnRollOver" it would resize the image to large one...

Also, each offer is going to have several 30-50) items, so I cannot use just the large images, it would be a mess.

This is maybe simple... just right now I cannot figure it out.

Thanks in advance...

Yup, but the problem is they want it in excel, so they can transfer the info (-pictures) over to their files directly.

I can send an excel file w. direct links to pictures, or embed the thumbs and hyperlink to bigger pics. But I am looking for a more elegant approach... Excel doesn't really support html. I was thinking of VisualBasic, but its been very long since I last used it.

If you can't use macros, then you can't use VB or VBA.

I don't believe that this can be done without a macro of some type.

Why couldn't you design a site with the features that you want as described earlier, and then provide a link to an excel book that has all the images in it?
