Default Loadpicture - check if file exists

Hi friends,

I have a picture box (image1) and I use loadpicture to fill it with a
jpg image. The path is created in a cell from information inserted by
the user. The jpg images (some thousands!) are stored in a folder in
C:\. Everything works fine but there is one problem. In some occasions
it is normal for my application to call an image that is not yet
created. In that case I get error 53 'file not found'. I need a
condition to check if the file requested by the user exists. If this
condition is TRUE then my code works. If it is False I need it to
ignore the user's request. Please help me if you can.

Here is one part of my code

For i = 1 To 10


If Range("code").Offset(i - 1, 0).Value < blank Then
filename(i) = Range("filename").Offset(i - 1, 0).Value
image(i).Picture = LoadPicture(filename(i))
Else
image(i).Picture = LoadPicture("c:\Photos\blank.jpg")

End If

Next i
