Glad you found it. Yes, I've missed that one too!

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems my problem was in the way I was using the relative directory path
to my network. I was using ...
\\welton1\\sys\\maint\\web ...
When pathing to a network, you need four back slashes (\\\\). My path
should have read ...
\\\\welton1\\sys\maint\\web ...
Thanks for you help Peter. You started me looking in the right direction
for the issue.
I hope this post saves other from the same frustration I had.
Regards,

Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I am what you might call particular about my file
and
directory names. I never use spaces just for this reason. I prefer
TitleCase or Camel directory and file names.
Here is the includepicture merge field:
{ includepicture
"\\welton1\\sys\\maint\\web\\imagesspecsschematics logosremotes\\icons(smallimages)\\{mergefield
icon_file_name}}
I am getting a box that is the right size for the images. The box also
has
the sizing handles. It is just the images don't display.
Thanks again,
Gilley

Assuming you are using a nested field such as
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\myimages\\{ MERGEFIELD "Image Name" }" }
have you checked to ensure thata there are no additional spaces in the
pathname, e.g.
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\myimages\\ { MERGEFIELD "Image Name" }" }
? For some reason it seems easy to introduce one by accident when
constructing this kind of field.

I have a template which creates a mail merge to a new document
automatically.
There are only two fields in the merge. Product Name and Image Name.
Everything works beautifully except that the images don't display. I
see
the
image frame with the sizing handles, but no image.
I have two macros. One that run in the DocumentNew that performs the
merge.
A second macro runs after that to basically do Ctrl+A and F9.
However,
this
doesn't seem to do the trick.
There are approximately 72 images with a size of about 200 pixels
wide
each.
The resolution of the images is 100 dpi.
I am working in Word 2000 and have the following options:
View Placeholders -- OFF
Print Drawings -- ON
Include with Document Drawing Objects -- ON
I do lots of work with images and haven't had a problem with any
other
document.
Any help is greatly welcome.
TIA,
Gilley
