Classic ASP, adding a check if file exists...

Linked with this thread

how do I add in a check to make sure the XML file exists? If it doesn't then just use a default image in the same way?

Thanks

Ideally done here...

filename=Server.MapPath "/files/items.xml"

So if no path is set then it uses a default value?!

Thanks
