Hide missing images???

Is there a way I can test if an image file exists before displaying it?

I have a database that has an image field in it that users enter a filename into. Is there a way for me to check using an "if" statement that the file is actually on the drive before displaying it? ie:

<%okimage=(rsFile.Fields.Item("image").Value)
If okimage='actually on the drive' then%>
<img src='(rsFile.Fields.Item("image").Value)'>
<%else%>
<img src='noimage.jpg'>
<%end if%>

Code:

<%
Dim objFs
Set objFs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

IF objFs.FileExists(Server.Mappath(rsFile.Fields.Item("image").Value) ) Then
%>
<img src='(rsFile.Fields.Item("image").Value)'>
<%else%>
<img src='noimage.jpg'>
<%
end if
set objFs = Nothing
%>
