Hi;

Had been using Word 2000 for a mail merge from Access 2000 and the this code
worked correctly in Word 2000:
{IncludePicture "c:\\Program Files\\My Program\\ProductPictures\\{MERGEFIELD
ProductCategory}{ProductSubCategory}{ProductName}.jpg"}

What the code does is pull a photo of the Product.
Note: The photos are named using the Category: Clothing, Sub-Category:
Woman, and ProductName: Shoes.
Example: ClothingWomanShoes.jpg

A query with a criteria in Access generates the merge using the information
the user has displayed on the screen.

A command button then executes the merge.
Everything worked correctly until we started using Word 2002 on one
computer.

The code changes to:
{IncludePicture "../../../program%20files/My
Program//ProductPictures/ClothingWomansShoes.jpg" \* MERGEFORMATINNET}

The Double Backslashes are replaced by the above.

Tried doing it manually.  It works at first but when the document is saved
it changes from:
{IncludePicture "C:\\Program Files\\My Program\\ProductPictures\\{MERGEFIELD
ProductCategory}{MERGEFIELD ProductSubCategory}{MERGEFIELD
ProductName}.jpg"}
To:
{IncludePicture "../../../program%20files/My
Program//ProductPictures/ClothingWomansShoes.jpg" \* MERGEFORMATINNET}

With the first example the code is dynamic and shows the correct picture,
with the second it is static and calls for a specific picture
"ClothingWomansShoes.jpg" and doesn't show any graphic at all.  It only
shows a "Place Holder" where the photo should be.

Tried the resolution from Microsoft:
Example:
{INCLUDEPICTURE {MERGEFIELD "Picture"} \*MERGEFORMAT}

And
Example: { IncludePicture "C:\\Data\\Pics\\{ Mergefield Signature \*
upper }" }
From: http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/MergFram.htm
And quite a few more.

Getting nowhere fast.

Would someone be so kind and point me in the correct direction?

Thank You for taking the time to read this post.
