More header help, please? IncludePicture with mailmerge
I have worked through my previous issue well enough that I've found the next
problem (don't you HATE that? "Yay! I'm done!" and whatever you're working with says "Yeah, right!") In my mailmerge scenario, I have a picture imported from the database. (Write the picture to a file, put the filename in the database, nest the MERGEFIELD inside the INCLUDEPICTURE) When I perform the import with INCLUDEPICTURE in a header, the data is updated, but the picture doesn't display. Inside the INCLUDEPICTURE, the path is correct (well, the filename is correct - the database contains a full path, but Word truncates to just a filename because the image file is in the same folder as the document file). When I copy the INCLUDEPICTURE tag down to the body of the document (out of the header), the picture shows correctly. Is there some kind of an "updateimages" like "UpdateFields" that I should call when the import is done? Thanks in advance for all advice! EB |

More header help, please? IncludePicture with mailmerge
Found it - with a little help from before.
After performing the merge, I needed to update each field individually: Dim objStory As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range Dim objField As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Field For Each objStory In docDestination.StoryRanges For Each objField In objStory.Fields objField.Update() Next ' The header/footer ranges can be linked in a way ' that is not revealed by the outer For Each ' so we have to do the following While Not (objStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing) objStory = objStory.NextStoryRange For Each objField In objStory.Fields objField.Update() Next End While Next objStory objField = Nothing objStory = Nothing |
