How To Read And Modify JPEG or .JPG Files (ATTRIBUTES)

[MarkDicken]

I use MS Access all the time and would like to write a routine to look through all my .JPG files downloaded from a Digital Camera.

There is a Date and Time Created Property within the .JPG file format. If the file 100-2345_IMG.JPG has a date and time of 9-Dec-2001 on 10:14:00 then I want to rename the file to 2001-12-09_101400.JPG.

Also there are other attributes like Owner Name and User Comments that I would like to update.

I have a Canon PowerShot S20 and think the bundled software is 'shall we say - not that great!'

Many Thanks In Advance...

P.S. If possible I would like to add a few extra Attributes within the .JPG File Format - Any Ideas ?

look into what you can do with File System Object. If you don't already have scrrun.dll on you PC, download it and set a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library, then do some experimenting.
