INCLUDE PICTURE with MERGE FIELD
Not sure what you mean? Once the merge to new document is done, we do
CTRL-A and F9 to pull in the graphics. But since the file names from the database aren't being used - all the images are the same. The problem is that the merge field will not save. When I click save you can actually see the "{MERGEFIELD SignatureFileName }" change to "C://FolderName//DFKSig.bmp" before your eyes. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ... All you may need to do is update the fields in the new document. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "David Knight" wrote in message ... I have something strange going on with a Word/Access 2003 mail merge. I am using the INCLUDEPICTURE command in order to add a unique signature to the end of a letter, based on a Path and FileName stored in my database. Here is what appears in my Word file: { INCLUDEPICTURE "{MERGEFIELD SignatureFileName }" /* MERGEFORMAT} When I click on SAVE in Word - it replaces my merge field with the actual database value from the record I am on. So after saving, it reads: { INCLUDEPICTURE "C://FolderName//DFKSig.bmp" /* MERGEFORMAT} Of course, when I run Merge to New Document - all the signatures are the same. If I manually remove the ""C://FolderName//DFKSig.bmp"" and replace it with the MERGEFIELD - then run the letters it works. But if I save, it puts the "C://FolderName//DFKSig.bmp" back in. So, I have to do this manual step each time. I have seen tons of posts here about merging images, and have followed all the instructions. Why would clicking SAVE change what I just did? Please help. thanks!!! David Knight RoundTable Solutions |
