OK, I have this code, pretty straight forward I thought.

Dim TempImage as String
TempImage = rsName.Fields("Image").Value
If TempImage = "" Then
picComic.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\blank.gif")
Else
picComic.Picture = LoadPicture(rsName.Fields("Image").Value)
End If

In other words I have a MSaccess Database with an Image field. I want the code to load a standard image when nothing is in the image field. The other half of the statement works when there something in the field. Or in I add like "none" to the image field, and change the code from

If TempImage = "" TO If TempImage = "none"

Then it works fine.

Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks
