QUESTION: i want to place a image placeholder in sheet and let the user browse and insert the image he wants in that placeholder.

AnswerEdit

There's no such thing as an image placeholder in a sheet. You can force the image to go to a particular cell, like this example uses cell C2 as the top left corner of the picture:

Sub InsertPicture()

   Range("C2").Select
   On Error Resume Next
   filetoimport = Application.GetOpenFilename("Picture Files (*.jpg),*.jpg,Picture Files (*.mpg),*.mpg")
   ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert (filetoimport)

End Sub
