Access Word Merge picture prob
I have two word merge docs. One, I open from Access and I populate the Word
doc with a graphic from a bound control using an OLE Object field as the controlsource. In the process of getting to the Word doc, my Windows registered file type graphics program (Paint Shop Pro) opens; it does nothing that's obvious...just a blank screen. It's, then, necessary for the (possibly suprised) user to close it. Then the Word doc opens just fine. The other Word doc I open directly from Word. I use INCLUDEPICTURE to have the same bmp graphic appear. It appears just fine without the Paint Shop Pro screen opening up. I want to use the first method . Is there anyway to get rid of the Paintshop Pro screen? |

I'm truly embarassed to have to ask you this, but I really need the answer to
that prob. I've spent the last half hour trying to find it on microsoft.public.word.vba.general (I'm guessing that this is Office/Word/Word General Questions) but no matter what search words I put in, nothing comes up. And I can find no way either to find all of my own messages or to have the messages sorted by date in reverse order. Help! and thanks much.

Hi accdev,
From microsoft.public.word.vba.general: "Your MERGEFIELD should look something like: {INCLUDEPICTURE {MERGEFIELD PicName}} where PicName is the full path, filename & extension for the picture, although these requirements can be reduced according to how much of the path, fileextension are incorporated into the INCLUDEPICTURE field. For example: {INCLUDEPICTURE "C:/My Documents/{MERGEFIELD PicName}.jpg"} or {INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\My Documents\\{MERGEFIELD PicName}.jpg"} When you mailmerge document is saved with the above coding, it should not update with the actual picture." The problem you're describing with PSP at least partly suggests you have an INCLUDEPICTURE pointing direct to a particular graphic, rather than incorporating a MERGEFIELD as describe above.
