I have a bitmap file that I want to change in Paint. What I want is to link it to an excel file and have it update when I change it in Paint.
To further explain:
I have a US map in paint that I want to color with the states when certain things happen in that state. As I color them, I want it to automatically update the map in the excel file.
 
In Office 2003:
Insert > Object > Create from File tab

Check the box "Link to File" and browse to find your file.

Let us know your results!

I tried to give you stars, but evidently didn't do it correctly.
 
Thats Ok! Just getting a quick response that this worked for you was enough. Sometimes I get stars, sometimes I don't... I don't really care as long as I help someone.
