URGENT HELP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE???
Hi Ian,
The best thing to do is store the path to the bitmap in a field in the data
source and then insert that mergefield inside an { INCLUDEPICTURE } field in
the mailmerge main document in place of the filename that you would normally
have in such a field.
Then when you execute the mailmerge, and select the whole document and press
F9 to update all of the fields in the output, the respective bitmaps will
appear along with the other data for each record.
BTW, it's best to put the subject of your question as the Subject of your
post.
Please post any follow-up or new questions to the Newsgroups so that others
may benefit therefrom or contribute thereto.
Hope this helps,
