After you have inserted the Include Picture field, use Alt-F9 to look at and
edit the "Underlying field code"
From what you say it probably looks like
{ INCLUDEPICTURE c:\\pics\\ "{bryan.jpg}" }
but it should probably look like
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\pics\\ {bryan.jpg}" }
and you may find it useful to use
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\pics\\ {bryan.jpg}" \d }
You can edit everything except the {} in the usual way. Use ctrl-F9 to
insert fresh pairs of {} if you need them (*you shouldn't in this case). You
can use Alt-F9 to toggle back to "field results" mode and select the field
and press F9 to update the results. Make sure there are /no spaces/ at the
beginning and end of the image's pathname.

I have tried the steps outlined in the following link:
http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Sep

but I must be doing something wrong because all I get is the X where
my image should show up.
Here is what I'm doing:
In Access I have a field with the image filename:
ex: Bryan.jpg
I have a copy of this .jpg in the following path c:/pics/
In my Word document, I did the following:
Insert - Field - Include Picture
I put the following path in the box: c:\\pics\\ "{bryan.jpg}"
Can someone help me out please....
Thanks,
