[Philip Leduc]

Hi I know how to conditionally show text (without using VBA) and I know
VBA/VB6 from using it in MS Access , is there anybody that knows how to
conditionally show a picture in a document in function of a certain field
when merging with a database query with/or without using VBA? Thanks for
your help!

There's no direct way to do this other than write a macro that deletes or
obscures the picture according to the condition.

You could try with an IF field:

{IF {MERGEFIELD name}= "Some value" "(Inline picture)" "Else nothing"}

Making the picture "inline" did the job, thanks. I needed that extra
knowledge from word, thanks!
