Hm, my previous reply didn't post.
The multiple "." are perfectly Windows OS legal.
I did some more fooling around, and the solution is actually simple:
{IncludePicture "z:\\\\path name\\\\folder name\\\\{Mergefield Picname}"}
_Quadruple_ backslashes! This produces post-merge code that has
double-backslahes, and that loads the pics just fine.

Yes, that's always SOP with IncludePicture, yeah?
It updates the manually-coded image, but not the merge-named image.
Why
is
the embedded-merge picture name not working.

Howdy, all:
When I manually code a field like thus:
{IncludePicture "z:\\path name\\folder name\\file.name.bmp"}
The bmp merges easily. But when I code it thusly:
{IncludePicture "z:\\path name\\folder name\\{Mergefield
Picname}"}
(where Picname = file.name.bmp) the image does not get merged.
Any help?
Thanks,
Thompson
