i have a directory called images.

every image is named as same name as their product code

for example product code argent3000 will have an image called 

argent3000.gif in teh images directory.



what i wnat to do is to search for a particular product code in teh image 

directory. if that image is present tehn it should display the image else 

it should display nopic.gif image.



plz let me knw of how can i achieve the above.



i would greatly appreciate any response regarding teh above. thanks very 

much in advance

Use the folders collection to gain the files collection for that folder. If

you know the drive, etc....



set objFSO = server.createobject("Scripting.FilesSystemObject")

set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("Drive:\path to parent folder")



Then you can loop through and compare what you find to the person's file

(strFileName).



for i=0 to objFolder.Files.Count

    if (objFolder.Files.Item(strFileName)) then

        'found it

    else

        'display nogif

    end if

next

I would think the FileExists method may be quicker than looping through 

each image in your folder, not 100% sure though.



If objFSO.FileExists("e:\mywebsite\products\images\myimage.gif") Then

     'Found It

Else

     'Display nopic.gif

End If
