Insert image to a Word Template

[thatguy]

I'm wondering if it's possible to insert an image into a placeholder in a Word template (from Access).

I have several fields (using custom document properties) such as name, employee title, dept, etc, that I insert with no problems, but I also need to add in a link to an employee picture (linked to a jpg on the network) -- and the picture needs to be in a specific place in the doc.

I've tried using a bookmark, which just generates an error.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Sorry bout that.. here's the code..

    Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set oDoc = oWord.Documents.Open(cfile)
    oDoc.Bookmarks("bkImage").Select
    oWord.Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture _
        "C:\Photos\Test.jpg", True, False

And the error that pops up is:

Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':

Method 'AddPicture' of object InlineShapes' failed.


Any thoughts?

Thanks

Do you have a reference to Word? It works for me.
