Alt F9 will show the field construction. You need to merge to a new
document, select all (CTL+A) then F9 to update the fields.

Doug,
Is there a way to see what path the merge is constructing? I am
getting red x images, and I want to see what I am doing wrong.
Thanks!

I would not try and do it that way. You should add a field to the
data source that contains the filename of the picture that you want
to include for each record.

See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges"
section of fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at

Original:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD SLSP1 \* MERGEFORMAT } = "allison" "pictures1" {
IF { MERGEFIELD SLSP1 \* MERGEFORMAT } = "mark" "picture2" { IF {
MERGEFIELD SLSP1 \* MERGEFORMAT } = "william" "picture3" ""} } }

My Version:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD SLSP1 \* MERGEFORMAT } = "allison" "pictures1" {
IF { MERGEFIELD SLSP1 \* MERGEFORMAT } = "mark" "picture2" { IF {
MERGEFIELD SLSP1 \* MERGEFORMAT } = "william" "picture3" { IF {
MERGEFIELD SLSP1 \* MERGEFORMAT } = "william2" "picture4" ""} } } }

picturex is an image in the actual doc, up to william and picture 3
is the original code, the william2 is my addition that doesn't work
right, i need up to 12 ifs for different people

Thanks for the help!

Show us the field construction that you are using.

To make it easy to get it into a post, see the following page of

All,
I am working on a mergefield that displays a picture based on a
merged field's value.
The original i got had nested ifs and I am told it can go up to
10. I tried to add 1 and it does not work (I added "test1")
What am I doing wrong? I think i must be missing an extra " or },
but am not sure, if you are willing I can email or post the files
somewhere for you to take a look at
Thanks!!
