Not sure what they do behind the scenes but if it worked like variable data, the picture box would not be necessary or only created when a filename and image can be found...

Hi, Yes, I was able to get the merge to work once I moved the filenames next to each other. Doing things this way will require a script or macro to re-arrange the data accordingly. However, I have not heard back from my client to see if they can either replace 1's with filenames or remove 0's...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give this a try later this afternoon.

Aw! Sorry, I misread your previous post about how the data should display. It is doubtful I can convince them to re-arrange data such that no blanks or empty fields would appear. I will check with them just in case... Let me know how you make out with the if/else option.

Ok. I've tested the variable image method and this is quite close to what I want. However, I still get blank boxes in places the data is empty. Please see attached Sample2.jpg.

For your first option, what do you mean by "call as variable image"? The only options I see (for Type:) are {Text, Text with Style, Text File, Graphic, Visibility, Style and Table}. FYI, Table is not available for selection (Greyed out)...

Perhaps, I can get my client to change the data from 1/0 to name of image. I'm interested in hearing your idea...

Hi, Yes, I didn't expect an answer over night. I have until the end of the week to come up with a solution. I've got an alternate plan which does not use XMPie for the merging. However, it requires a script and changes to the input data. Currently, I have placed a support call to Xerox and...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I don't think the order is important. However I tried to incorporate this logic and noticed, if Field A = 0 and Field B = 1 I get Placeb.jpg twice. In position 1 and 2. This seems to happen every time the data contains 0. FYI, I have a total of 15 graphic objects...

My apologies as it may be easier to show you rather than explain. Please find attached a Sample.jpg file showing Current Results (what happens now) and Finish Results (what I want to see). Let me know if this helps clarify what I am trying to accomplish. -Greg

Wow, thanks for your prompt response! I have had some success with what you suggested. However, I need to place multiple Graphic content objects next to each other on one line. I was hoping this would work similar to dynamic text. However, the Graphic content objects that is equal to 0...

Hi, I'm new to this forum so I hope my post is in the correct group. We are currently using InDesign CS3 and Xmpie uDirect v4.0.3 on a PC running Windows 7. Can you help me create a rule which will print a Graphic content object based on a specific value? I want to display the Graphic when...
