Well, no, you can't use mailmerge to import pictures directly from your Excel worksheet; they'd have to be stored on disk somewhere for a mailmerge to access them. You couldn't do it from Access, either.

But I'm assuming I wouldn't need a mailmerge with access, I'd just run a report and print the result directly.
Thanks for clarifying though, saves me ages of faffing about with something that will never work.
