From: Daedalus on 27 Dec 2009 13:49 Hi I'd like to retrieve the timestamp of .jpg-files. The only thing I found was that this info is stored in the exif-data of the files, but I can't find a way to retrieve this from my vba-code. Anyone ? Tanx in advance ! D
From: HS Hartkamp on 3 Jan 2010 13:55 Can't you use the general file-management functions to get the date created of the file itself ? (JPG or otherwise) Bas.

From: Lars Brownies on 4 Jan 2010 07:01 I think the OP wants to retrieve the timestamp of .jpg files and not the date the file was created. For instance if you copy a file the 'date created' is set to the current date while the info about when the picture was actually taken remains intact. I think the OP needs to look for an Active X control to get the right info.

The exif-data contain much more info than the file-timestamp, and I'm interested in these data (things like resolution, which apparatus made the file, etc). The timestamp is only one of those data, and is not the same as the Windows-timestamp. D |
