SYMPTOMS
When using the AddPicture method to add a picture to a Microsoft PowerPoint
slide, you receive the following error message:
Run-time error '-2147188160 (80048240)':
Shapes (unknown member): Out of memory error.
CAUSE
This error message occurs when you pass an invalid parameter to the
AddPicture method. For example, this error occurs when the LinkToFile
parameter is set to msoFalse (or has an integer value of 0) and the
SaveWithDocument parameter is set to msoFalse. These settings instruct
PowerPoint to embed the picture in the presentation, but to save the link
information. An embedded picture does not contain link information.
RESOLUTION
To prevent the run-time error message, choose either of the following
methods:
Method 1. Link the picture and save the link information
To link the picture and save the link information, set the LinkToFile
parameter to msoTrue and the SaveWithDocument parameter to msoFalse.
Method 2. Embed the picture and save the picture with the presentation
To embed the picture and save the embedded picture with the presentation,
set the LinkToFile parameter to msoFalse and the SaveWithDocument parameter
to msoTrue.
For more information about the AddPicture method, click the Office
Assistant, type
AddPicture click Search, and then click to view
