on a remote database. I need to create documents, which will automaticaly

We are discussing mail merge, here, right?

Word's mail merge cannot pick up graphics (or anything else except plain text) from a database. There are instructions for how you can make it work, with pictures saved to disk, in the mailmerge section of my website.
