>>I am trying to create a MailMerge document from within VFP6.0 that switches between 2(or more) bitmaps depending on a merged data fields value. For example: One of the mailmerge fields is called "access_type". There are two values for access_type: VND and STD. For VND records I want picture "VND.BMP" to show and for STD records I want "STD.BMP" to show. The pictures do not reside in the database. I've tried using the macro recorder in Word, but the code I get is .ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Fields.AddIf(.Selection.Range, "access_type", wdMergeIfEqual, "VND", "", "MailMergeInsertIf3", "", "MailMergeInsertIf4")
>>. How do I get to the code behind the "MailMergeInsertIfX" so I can put that back into the VFP side?

You are correct, I am trying to use the {IF}. The "access_type" field doesn't end up in the document, it is just there to tell which bitmap to use inside the mailmerge. At least that's what I was hoping to do with it. I have been looking at the AddIf and the AddPicture, but I haven't been able to figure out how to combine them. The documentation I have found goes back to having the pic in the database not just an external file(for use with the AddIf).
