lcPicFile = oApp.photoPath + table1.picFile if file(lcPicFile) thisForm.image1.picture = lcPicFile else thisForm.image1.picture = oApp.noPictureFile endifIn this example, I have an application object (oApp) that has a property that stores the name of the path for the photos. oApp.noPictureFile stores the name (including full path) of an image I want displayed when the picture does not actually exist on disk.
