      Hi,

      I am using Indesign CS4

      I have a CSV export from a database with products and the url to the
      product picture. I want to import the information for the products and
      the picture via data merge. I added the @ in the name of the column
      where the url to the pictures is. Everything works perfect when I use
      a lokal path, but I need to get the pictures from the website.

      Is it possible to import pictures from a website via CSV data merge?
      What steps are needed for that?

      Would be great if you could help me.

      Best Regards,

      Gloria

      Interesting… this question has come up a few times recently. Unfortunately, Data Merge cannot do that. Data Merge is a very simple tool. You might try one of the other database publishing programs, such as DataLinker from Teacup Software or EasyCatalog.
