[Sue]

Can I attach a macro that brings up a form to a logo(picture) istead of a
command button? If so, how? Thanks

Insert a MacroButton field
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm). In place of
the display text that would otherwise appear, paste in the picture.

That is, when the field code is displayed, it should look like

{ MACROBUTTON NameOfMacro [picture here] }

I did get as far as having a picture on the button, but I wanted to not have
a button at all and just have the macro run from the club logo as this would
be a big improvement on the appearance of the merge.

If you followed Jay's instructions, all you would see is the picture and
double clicking on it would run the macro.

I have made progress but I still have not achieved my goal. For anyone else
doing the same thing I have a form which does quite a few things on commands.
I had it opened with a cmd click procedure. This it seems, was not a macro. I
now have a macro in the NewMacros Module which does the same thing ie has the
same line to open the form. Now I have followed the instructions and can
attach it to a picture, in my case the logo.

Unfortunately the picture can be sized but if I use the "layout" tab to
position it where I want it, which is where I have it when not attached to a
macro, it disappears when the field codes are not shown. This is my present
problem. The logo is beside the address and is as tall as the three address
lines. I can make it what I want using the "layout" tab but it disappears
with the field codes if I do.

If you followed Jay's instructions, all you would see is the picture and
double clicking on it would run the macro.

The user of your form should have no reason to display the field codes.

I am sorry, I am not making myself clear. The logo must be visible at all
times because it is part of the letterhead and because I want it to be used
to open the form. Attaching the macro makes it invisible if the positioning
facility of the "layout" tab is used and it does have to be in the correct
place for the letterhead. I want the logo to show at all times (not just when
showing field codes which is irrelevant to the user.)

The user of your form should have no reason to display the field codes.
