this is going to be so ease for you guys and so anoying for me as i am sure i have encountered this in the past and just can not think what to do heres the small problem

Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(LValue)

LValue = "H:\authorpics\" & Pic & MyString

so it goes to file graps the jpeg displays it fine, that is if it exsists, if not it errors any halts which you would expect, i have tried wrapping an if statement around it to no avail still crashes if jpeg is not in the file?
so plese help the confused like i said i sure this is simple my brain has shut down !!

If Len(Dir(LValue)) Then
   'file exists
End If
