Mail Merge .bmp from access?
I am trying to pull a picture stored in access and insert it in my doccument.
Each house we visit has its own info and picture that I merge to a form letter to send to my clients. I found that word 2003 can not deal with the data type that the picture is stored. Does the newer version of word handle this? Is their a work around? |

Does the newer version of word handle
this? Unfortunately not. Is their a work around? Only the general approach described under "Special merges"|"graphic from a database" on Cindy Meister's web page at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...r/MergFram.htm Well, there is one other way but it's much harder, also ends up with copies of the pictures outside the database, and probably isn't reliable.

Notwithstanding Peter's reservations, if you have the images outside the
data source, the procedure is described at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org pope wrote: I am trying to pull a picture stored in access and insert it in my doccument.
