The first reply was just a quick shot. The correct thing would be to check to handle.
If the picturebox contains a image, the image has a handle. If the picturebox is empty the handle is zero, so you should be able to detect it like this.
Code:
if me.picturebox.picture.handle = 0 then
'the pictrebox contains no image
end
Answered in your other post..use a variable with the pic

but an integerated meaningful entity,
