Simple question for when a graphic file does not exist

[mjlongo]

I'm using the following code to return an inline graphic:

 

return CreateResource(Field("name") + ".pdf", "graphic");

 

It works fine. However, the customer did not supply every file necessary. When the file does not exist, I instead want to simply return the name field using an appropriate font.

 

So my question is pretty simple, how do you check that the graphic file indeed exists and if not, run a different set of code?

 

Thanks!

I would do this by creating a text frame set on top of a graphic frame and use this:

 

Pic = CreateResource(Field("name") + ".pdf", "graphic", true);
if (Pic.exists){
FindTextFrame("Text").suppress = true;
return Pic;
}
else{
FindGraphicFrame("Image").suppress = true;
return CreateResource("");
}
