title: Can I use VBA to import images (gifs) from the web into Excel?
body: <p>I have a list of URLs to .gif files in an Excel sheet. I want to use VBA to query these websites and insert these images into the same worksheet.  I am using Excel 2007.</p>
  
  <p>I tried using the 'Get External Data - From Web' feature to query the website, but it returned the following error:</p>
  
  <p><em>"Unable to open <a href="http://.../blah.GIF" rel="nofollow">http://.../blah.GIF</a>. The Internet site cannot return the object you request. (HTTP/1.0 403)"</em></p>
  
  <p>Is this because Excel cannot import online images with this feature?  Or is this problem specifically related to the website?</p>
  
  <p>And most importantly, is there some other way to do this entirely in VBA?</p>
