I'm pretty sure fileExists is a local function. You'd have to use it
like
FileExists("D:\websites\somewebaddress\PropertyImages\Adirectory\Another
Directory\ImageFileName.jpg")

If you want to check an image at a remote location, you'll need to try
to use <cfhttp> and figure out what kind of page or response you get
back when the image doesn't exist and code around that. It's probably
overkill to do it on each request though.

You can also use the <IMG onError="" attribute to display an alternate
image.  However, this requires javascript, I believe.

Subject: Using FileExists

I am sending an email out and need to check if the image is actually
found on the server, if not show a default image. This is what I am
trying to do.

Property Images is a Virtual Directory set up in IIS

<CFIF
FileExists("http://www.somewebaddress.com/PropertyImages/Adirectory/Anot
herDirecotry/ImageFileName.jpg") > Show the Image <CFELSE> Default Image
</CFIF>

The problem is the FileExists never seems to work, my email always shows
the default image.
