Use an Access 2007 attachment field in a merge

[chrisderoover]

Hello,

Is there a way to use an Access 2007 attachment field in a Word 2007
merge? In fact, the Access field contains several attachments from
which I'd like to extract one (image) and display this image on a Word
document in a merege procedure.

See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of
fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at

If you create a query in Access in the output of which you included the File
Name of the attachment, you should be able to make use of that query with
the above information.
