I'm trying to create a mailmerge using a field that contains the name of an
image file used for signatures.

This is the following text i'm trying to use...

{INCLUDEPICTURE "{MERGEFIELD "MergeField_name" \b "\\\\UNCPATH\\LOCATION"}"
\d \* MERGEFORMAT}

The path appears correct but when I first run the mailmerge I get a box with
a cross in it.
I've noticed however that if i highlight the mergefield and press F9 the
image then appears??
Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

This is with Word 2003 btw.

Cheers

Colin

Hi Colin,

Try:
{INCLUDEPICTURE "filepath{MERGEFIELD "MergeField_name}" \d}

Cheers

This is normal behaviour. Merge to a new document select all CTRL+A then F9
to update.
