refreshing image in ms word using vba

I am dynamically changing the image property of a picture box in word
with something along the lines of...

LoadPictureToDocument ActiveDocument, "imgMenu", strImage

This is working, however it won't 'refresh' the page so to speak. When
you minimize word then restore it the image has changed, or if you
scroll to the bottom of the page then back up it refreshes.

Is there some sort of form.refresh type function using vba in word?

Thanks
Dan.

dan_e,

Yeah, you said that earlier. Does Application.ScreenRefresh work?

Sorry Greg, don't know how i posted that twice.

Tried Application.ScreenRefresh but to no avail.

Still isn't refreshing the image in my imagebox.

Is there anything else i could try?

Thanks again,
Dan.

Oh that's ok Greg, i appreciate your help thus far.

Very odd tho..if you minimize word then restore...the picture has
changed. One would think a .screenrefresh function would do the same
task.

Haha is the only part left not working on this app. Very frustrating.

Will continue looking, if i find anything, will post for trivial
purposes.

Thanks again,
Dan.
