Hi Andy,
The problem is in Tools/Options/General/Web options/Files. Deactivate the
option to automatically update links when saving. That will stop Word from
making the changes to the field code.
Had been using Word 2000 for a mail merge from Access 2000 and the this
code
worked correctly in Word 2000:
{IncludePicture "c:\\Program Files\\My
Program\\ProductPictures\\{MERGEFIELD
ProductCategory}{ProductSubCategory}{ProductName}.jpg"}
What the code does is pull a photo of the Product.
Note: The photos are named using the Category: Clothing, Sub-Category:
Woman, and ProductName: Shoes.
Example: ClothingWomanShoes.jpg
A query with a criteria in Access generates the merge using the
information
the user has displayed on the screen.
A command button then executes the merge.
Everything worked correctly until we started using Word 2002 on one
computer.
The code changes to:
{IncludePicture "../../../program%20files/My
Program//ProductPictures/ClothingWomansShoes.jpg" \* MERGEFORMATINNET}
The Double Backslashes are replaced by the above.
Tried doing it manually. It works at first but when the document is
saved
it changes from:
{IncludePicture "C:\\Program Files\\My
Program\\ProductPictures\\{MERGEFIELD
ProductCategory}{MERGEFIELD ProductSubCategory}{MERGEFIELD
ProductName}.jpg"}
To:
{IncludePicture "../../../program%20files/My
Program//ProductPictures/ClothingWomansShoes.jpg" \* MERGEFORMATINNET}
With the first example the code is dynamic and shows the correct picture,
with the second it is static and calls for a specific picture
"ClothingWomansShoes.jpg" and doesn't show any graphic at all. It only
shows a "Place Holder" where the photo should be.
Tried the resolution from Microsoft:
Example:
{INCLUDEPICTURE {MERGEFIELD "Picture"} \*MERGEFORMAT}
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/114306/en-us
And
Example: { IncludePicture "C:\\Data\\Pics\\{ Mergefield Signature \*
upper }" }

And quite a few more.
