ID image data merge prob

Hopefully I can explain this clearly.

Have an ID file that im doing a data merge that contains both text and images (50+ of them). Ive set the path to the images folder correct in excel, and saved it out as a .csv and edited it to have the "@" symbol in the correct column.

The text works fine. Its the images that give me a prob. The images are located 4 folders deep on our server. When I goto merge from ID, for some reason, I get a window indicating it cant find the image placeholder. When I put the images 3 folders deep, redo the path in excel, resave the .csv, etc, etc update ID and remerge, the merge works and the images show up.

Is there some sort of limitation on folder/path structure that ID cant read past to get files from a location? Seems odd that I cant go past 4 folders deep and the data merge craps out. Noted, this is not a multiple merge either.

Ive even tried testing off the desktop and going a few folders deep just to verify im not typing anything wrong and go as simple as possible. I can do 3 deep, bombs out on 4.


Suggestions?
