How do I put a picture in a Mail Merge database field.
I created a field called "Picture" and then put into the field the location
of the picture file. ( C:\My Documents\etc\ect\Filename ). The picture is not displayed, only the file location that I typed into the field. Thanks for you help, |

You need to insert that field inside an { INCLUDEPICTURE } field and the
path separators in the filename of the picture must be duplicated. See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...r/MergFram.htm -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get the INCLUDEPICTURE technique
mentioned in this forum to work. I am using Office 2003 (don't know if that makes any difference, but there you are). I have followed Cindy Meister's and Graham Mayor's instructions to the letter, but my pictures will not appear. I've tried Ctrl+A | F9 on my merged document (yes, I'm merging it first), but the outcome remains the same: I get a picture placeholder in the area where my picture is supposed to be -- even though I've unchecked the Show Picture Placeholders option. Does anyone have any idea as to what I might be doing wrong? Any constructive comments or advise would be greatly appreciated.

The probable problem is that you don't have the path correct.
Toggle the field in the merge source document and post back the content. Given that you will not be able to cut and paste to e-mail, the following macro will ensure you get it exact, if necessary. http://www.gmayor.com/export_field.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org UrsaMajor wrote: I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get the INCLUDEPICTURE technique mentioned in this forum to work.
