I'm trying to merge a jpg image into each of a series of nametag
labels using the following field code when creating the label

{INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Pix\\{MERGEFIELD photo}.jpg"}

The merge worked and a picture frame was included. The image was not
there though. There was the type of icon like you see on a web page
when there is a problem with the link to the image file.

My picture image is named SmithJoe.jpg and is stored in the directory
C:\Pix. There is a field in the table named photo that contains the
text SmithJoe.

In troubleshooting, I have been able to use an IncludePicture field
in a Word document and display these images (without a merge).

I really appreciate your help.
