Mail Merge .bmp from access?

[pope]

I am trying to pull a picture stored in access and insert it in my doccument.
Each house we visit has its own info and picture that I merge to a form
letter to send to my clients. I found that word 2003 can not deal with the
data type that the picture is stored. Does the newer version of word handle
this? Is their a work around?

this?

Unfortunately not.

Is their a work around?

Only the general approach described under "Special merges"|"graphic from a
database" on Cindy Meister's web page at
http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/MergFram.htm


Well, there is one other way but it's much harder, also ends up with copies
of the pictures outside the database,
and probably isn't reliable.

Notwithstanding Peter's reservations, if you have the images outside the
data source, the procedure is described at
