How to add image to custom button for PowerPoint 2007 VBA add-in?

Hi,
An awesome expert here made an add-in into PowerPoint for me. When I install the add-in, it creates a button in the add-ins tab with a custom name. I was wondering if there is a way to add an image (my company logo) to that button.

Below is the code for the add-in.
I though it might go after

NewControl.Caption = "Add FHC Project Number"

But I could not find any image property for NewControl

Is there another way?

Thanks very much!

Remove the Add-In from powerpoint Ribon..then re-install it by performing the below steps -->
Right click on the toolbar --> go to Customize---> Select Macros from the Command tab --> You should be able to see your Add-In is listed there --> select --> Ok
Now before exiting the Customize Dialog box --> You will be able to see your Add-In is there in the Toolbar ..Right Click --> Change Icon/Images property will show up --browse/select the image to display --OK.

Thanks for the reply. Your instructions will allow me to a add a custom image button to the quick access toolbar -- is there a way to add a custom image to a ribbon button?

JRWilson,

I looked at the link you sent me, everything makes sense and I want to try it, however I am unsure of how to change the XML to bring in a custom image. The code in the example is 'imageMso="AcceptInvitation"' which I guess is some image that is already part of office. Would I just specify the image path there instead?
