You need the following syntax
{INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\path\\{Mergefield fieldname}.TIF"}
Merge to a new document, select all (CTRL+A) then F9 to update.

Graham, thanks for your reply. My problem was using LINK is that when I'd save
the dot the inner merge field would update and become the value of the merge
field and no longer be dynamic.
Also, just to note that I don't have users printing, what occurs is that data
entry is done from the duplex scanned image and the image file name is include
in the record.
Then an automated process prints a letter and the copy of the image, which is
similar in action to a right-click print from the file manager.
All is much better now that Im using IncludePicture rather than link which is
what I found when I selected |Insert |Object.
