ict QUESTION

[turbo pete]

I have a database with some pics in it. (Access)

I want to insert the pics into a word doc using a mail merge. Can't seem to make it work.

Anyone know why it says "Long binary or text value " instead of showing the pic.

Am i being dumb or what?

Pete,

Think you will find that this is not possible as mail merge only handles data as opposed to images and the like.

I'll have a delve around and see if someone has a cheat way round this and let you know:D:D:D:D

What version of Access and Word are you using?

Right, I think you'll have to create an extra field in the database to store the path and file name of the picture. You can then merge this into an IncludePicture frame embedded into the mail merge field in Word...
