I have a folder with images and I'd like to have the image names displayed in a table, next to a corresponding customer number (which is pulled from a database) or if no image exists, then a noimage.jpg would disply as default. Can I do this in ColdFusion without having to reference image names from a database, etc.? For now, the images are just sitting in a folder. If so what code would I need to use? Thanks.

As others have mentioned, cfdirectory will provide you with the file names. You can query your db for other stuff and put it all together with Query of Queries.

Some of the details might be tricky. Good luck and post back if you have difficulty.

Thanks everybody. I got it to work. Here is my code in case someone else needs help:

	<td>#CustomerName#</td>
	<td>#CustomerNumber#</td>
	<td><cfif FileExists("\\ncc1701-01\web\Sales\Information\images\#CustomerNumber#.png")>
	YES
	<cfelse>
	NO
	</cfif></td>
