Mail Merge with Access as a data source
I have a mail merge set up between an Access database and several Word
documents. In my Access database I have a field that contains the path to a bmp, e.g C:\\data\\thePicture.bmp When the merge runs, the result looks like this: {INCLUDEPICTURE C:\\data\\thePicture.bmp \* MERGEFORMAT} If I preview the document, the picture is not there. I have to select the INCLUDEPICTURE statement, right click, select Edit Field, click OK, and Word adds quotes around the picture name: {INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\data\\thePicture.bmp" \* MERGEFORMAT} Then if I preview the document, I see the picture. I've tried adding the quotes into the Access field, but that doesn't solve the problem. How should that path be stored in the Access field? |
