Email merged image is not working

Word's MERGEBARCODE field should work for emails as well as for documents. Nothing in the documentation says otherwise. See: Field codes: MergeBarcode. Do the QR codes appear as they should if you preview the merge?

An alternative might be to use Word's DISPLAYBARCODE field, with an embedded MERGEFIELD. See: Field codes: DisplayBarcode

When you preview with mergebarcode or display barcode, the QR codes do show up and are unique, the issues is that it needs to be embedded inside an email.
when you do the email merge, the QR code is missing.

Well, that's different from what you originally told us, which was that they weren't being included in the email at all:

apologies, should have made it clear.
Displaybarcode and mergebarcode all shows the QR code , and as you scroll through the records you can see the QR changing.
The problem is that if you merge to email the QR code does not come through.

What if I have the QR code as a html ?
