Hi John,

Aside from the fact you haven't implemented the code as I suggested (which is up to you), you don't need the '\* MERGEFORMAT' switch and, with the code you're using, the INCLUDEPICTURE field won't resolve correctly:
• without the filepath;
• until the mailmerge is executed.
If '{ MERGEFIELD “Filename” }' only returns 'Abels_Jon_1011_DSCF2804r.jpg', that means you need to add the path to either:
• the filenames in the data; or
• the INCLUDEPICTURE field (with double quotes encompassing it and the Filename mergefield.
