I am using the data merge tool in ID CS3, and everything is working fine except linking photos. I have watch a tutorial and read the help page at Adobe and I seem to be doing everything exactly as I should. I have double and triple checked for spelling and case of all links. When I hit the preveiw button and I get a message that says "The data source references on or more missing images...." This is how I have formated my reference

I have also made sure to put the '@photos as the header.
Can any one give me any suggestions. I have been at this for 2 days and it is driving me crazy.
:confused:

I would suspect that's a colon followed by a p, which produces this: :p

I didn't mean to have a :p. I am not sure what happened there. I am "still stuck on the sticky square" with this one. I will look at the "Indesigner" to see if there is any help there.

I don't know why this is required, but be sure to put the Source file in the SAME DIRECTORY as the images you are using for the merge. I was beating my head against the wall on this for an hour (having just done it successfully days earlier) and I came across a post somewhere that mentioned this. I made no other change and it worked.
