Inserting .BMP file into Word Document

[popeye2755]

Hello all,
Noob here, go easy! I've "inherited" a project at work, and I've hit a few problems. Basically, it's a mail-merge document that runs a query on an Access databse, and populates the fields accordingly. The only problem is that a customer signature has to be added to the document. This is (obviously) stored outside of the Access database. The file name of the BMP file I need to import shares the same name as one of the merge fields:

e.g. ServiceOrderNo_CustomerSignature.bmp

I have written some (crap) code that allows me to update the document with the correct BMP file, but only if I merge it to a new document. Once I have done this, I can't merge it to e-mail.

Any pointers?

Thanks


Popeye

This can be awkward to get right. See if the instructions here help:
