Guessed, I do apologize for my late reply. I have made several essays with the {filename \p}, starting with the problem raised in my application WbWrd (web page compiler), and then whittling it down to the simplest problem I could reproduce.


Attached is a file Greaves.ZIP, with a test.doc that morphs on update - which is why the original arrives in a zip file.


On two different essays using the <F9> function key to update a document causes mini-havoc in my Word2003 system. The latest example is documented here:-


Stage1.jpg shows my document. The heading1 uses the keyboard {} and is not a field. After the four {IncludePicture} fields I have the {filename\p} field just for documentation. In this image the two personal images appear twice, which is how it should be.


Stage2.jpg shows the fieldcodes in use. I have a macro All which toggles all settings in Tools Options View, hence "All" or Nothing. I believe that this image shows that the second pair of IncludePicture field codes are installed correctly. I have been known to make mistakes ...


Stage3.jpg shows that I have used Select All and the <F9> key to update all fields. All four images show as they should; so far, so good. This update-all-fields occurs immediately prior to compiling a web page from a document, so in this essay i am manually updating fields which is normally done by VBA code.


Stage4.jpg reveals what is in my document when I toggle All switches in Tools, Options, View. The fieldcodes {filename \p} in the second pair have been removed or executed, and the fieldcode {filename \p} is removed.


Over the past three months I have been trying different ways of using {filename \p}, beginning by assuming that the fieldcode remained in place and then discovering a week later that it had disappeared!


At this point I have two basic questions:-
(1) Am I creating the compound fieldcodes correctly?
(2) Is the {filename \p} supposed to be transient? Or should it remain in place, because I understand the purpose of the {filename \p} to be useful in a mobile document and image set.


Thanks for any advice, and again, I do apologize for being sluggish in scratching my head in trying to resolving this issue.
