Default includepicture merge failure

I am doing a merge with pictures. I have used the
icludepicture mergecode and then inserted the mergefield
where the file name goes (pictures location is in a
database) and this works ... until I save the file.

Then the mergefield is converted to an abbreviation of
the last file merged and won't merge any more.

Anybody know if this bug has been fixed?

thanks
..

Which version of Word are we dealing with?

Some versions are more lenient in this respect than others.
You might try
- execute the merge with the field codes still
displayed
- lock the field so that it can't update by selecting,
then pressing Ctrl+F11
- next time you open the document, select the field
again and press Ctrl+Shift+F11 to unlock
