How can I link to an image WITHIN an Excel spreadsheet into a field on an access form

Hello All

Here is my setup.  I have users that create Excel spreadsheets.  On those sheets they produce images (mostly charts) from their numbers.  The have the image on the same sheet as the numbers (they do not want to put the image produced on its own sheet).

I want to get that image into an Access 2013 database I am creating for them.  From the form they need to be able to see the image and if they hit a print button a form is created that has the image on it.

I do not have to store the image in Access (and I probably don't because it would bloat the database), but I cannot find anything about how to link to an image within a file.  I can easily link to an image that is a file itself (like a jpg) but nothing comes up about how to get to the file if it is saved in an excel spreadsheet.

Any ideas?
Thank yoU!
