INCLUDEPICTURE problems
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 |

INCLUDEPICTURE problems
Have you tried updating the fields in the document (Ctrl+A then F9)?

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.

INCLUDEPICTURE problems
I imagine that the two periods in file.name.bmp may be causing a problem

INCLUDEPICTURE problems
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.

INCLUDEPICTURE problems
Hi Thompson,
There is something odd going on with your mailmerge. What Windows & Word versions are you running? Also, you might try replacing those '\\\\' with '/'.

Normally only a double \\ is required.
