Mailmerge picture from an Access Database

[Rick]

We run a mailmerge to our members that uses an access database as a frontend
to a mssql database. While we have managed to mailmerge succesfully the info
from queries, however the mailmerge will not print the members pictures. It
does appear to print a reference to the pictures address. I have seen picures
from the database printed succesfully using access reports, however would
prefer the ease of using word for the merge and formatting. Any ideas to get
the picture to mailmerge to word?

I don't know much about Access or how it stores the picture information, but
if it stores it as links to separate files as your message seems to imply
then you could use the method described at
