Default Mail merge pictures - missing links

Hi Graham,
I can't see the bmp files I am trying to merge into labels. All I see once
a merge to "edit individual labels" are red x's. The bmp files are headshots.

I have an excel file with my text, ie. First, Last

This is the field code I am using.
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Reunion\\{ MERGEFIELD First}{MERGEFIELD Last}.bmp" }

Do I need a field in my excel file relating to the pictures?

What do you think?

What does Mergefield Whole_Name contain *exactly*.

I've created my mail merge document linked to an excel data source.
Included the mail merge command...

{ INCLUDEPICTURE " N:\\MAIL MERGE\\Ed's examples\\photos\\ {Mergefield
Whole_name}.jpg" }

When I merge to a seperate document I can't see the pictures, just
boxes with red crosses. I've done F9 update, and have called the jpg
files the same names as they appear in the excel file.

I used Ctrl+F9 to insert my brackets; update links and fileds is
checked in the print box, picture placeholders is not checked in the
options - view box; I've pressed Ctrl+A and F9 in my output
document...

Any ideas??
