I have a problem when I am mail merging an Access table to a word document. The problem is that one of the fields I am merging is an OLE object. (it contains a bitmap image) When merging the fields (customer name, address, etc) no problems but when merging the OLE field all that shows up is "Long binary or text value".
My question is: Can I merge an access field, which is an OLE field containing a bitmap, into a Word document?
No one seems to know the answer. Can anyone shed some light on this for me. Thanks in advance.
Here is another user asking the same question 2 years ago with no response.

I have a problem when I am mail merging an Access query to a word document. The problem is that one of the fields I am merging is an OLE object (it has a picture of a signature). When merging all the fields (companyname, name address, etc) work with the desired results apart from the signature.
The error that comes up is "Long binary or text value", what does this mean? Is it possible to merge pictures?
I have resized the bitmap signatures to make them smaller in size and view but I still get this error does anybody know what I can do to show the signature?
Any and all help is very much appreciated.
Thank you very very much.
