Is there a decent software program that can take an image and place it into a Excel spreadsheet on a routine basis?

I assume you are using a camera? That camera must then be connected to the computer and some software or other copy the photo off, then insert it into a 'specific' Excel Workbook. Specific as in, it knows the name of the workbook file.

I know of no app that does that.

However, I could do all that myself.

If, like Mark, you can do it via the GUI, it's not too difficult to write a macro to do it.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vbscript/filebrowse.aspx would be a good start as it lets you browse to the file to insert, so you don't need to code the folder and filename into the macro.

If you're a decent programmer, it will be a decent program.
