Insert Image into Excel cell(s) using ActiveXObject ("Excel.Application")

Question

I have a PHP Web Application, which uses the ActiveXObject to export the contents of a table into an Excel spreadsheet. I have a bit of formatting (cell alignment, currency, dates, etc,.) for some cells, but I need to merge the top 3 cells and then import an image. I've been searching, but haven't had any joy. If anyone knows if this is possible, please let me know! Cheers, Samuel

// Insert company logo at top of the page

MyPic = XlSheet.Pictures.Insert("c:\\1.jpg");
            MyPic.Top = XlSheet.Range("A1").Top;
            MyPic.Left = XlSheet.Range("A1").Left;
            MyPic.ShapeRange.Height = XlSheet.Range("A1").RowHeight * 2;
