I'm trying to merge a jpg image into each of a series of nametag labels using
the following field code when creating the label

{INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Pix\\{MERGEFIELD photo}.jpg"}

The merge worked and a picture frame was included. The image was not there
though. There was the type of icon like you see on a web page when there is a
problem with the link to the image file.

My picture image is named SmithJoe.jpg and is stored in the directory
C:\Pix. There is a field in the table named photo that contains the text
SmithJoe.

In troubleshooting, I have been able to use an IncludePicture field in a
Word document and display these images (without a merge).

I really appreciate your help.

Merge to a new document, select that document - CTRL+A - then F9 to update.
