texte = Robert:We've run into this ourselves quite a few times. One course of action is tohave another database that manages which picture is show. A simple databasewith two fields, sku and name, would suffice. Then either leave the nameblank if the picture doesn't exist or place the dummy.gif name in thefield. In the first case you could use the [hide]/[show] contexts todetermine whether to show the dummy gif or the named gif.Obviously it would be nice to have this happen automatically, however, thetime hit to search for images could be quite a bit. That doesn't mean wewon't add some sort of feature like this in the future, we just don't havea way to do it that we're happy with.Thanks.John.>Didn't know where else to ask.>>I have a series of gifs called upon from webcat by sku# ie>>
