Hi all,

I have an Access 2003 database, where one of the fields has the location
of the images of items in the database.

The images are located in the /slides subfolder in the folder where the
access database is in, so the values in field that shows the image
locations are like "/slides/Bi05K001.jpg"

How can I merge the images to word 2003? I read Cindy Meister's FAQ but
could not understand the syntax.

(Actually the ItemId's are like "Bi05K001xx". I use the second field
just to have the full location of the images. If I can create this from
the ItemId field like "/slides/&"Left(ItemId,8)&".jpg" on the fly, I may
also get rid of the image location field.)

Thanks for help.

See fellow MVP Graham Mayor's instructions for how to do it at:

If the images are in the slides sub folder of the data file folder then the
following should work

{INCLUDEPICTURE ".\\Slides\\{ItemId}.jpg"}
