How can I find the date property of jpg files?
Hello
I'd like to write a routine in VBA for Excel that will iterate through all the jpg files in that folder and rename them to the following format: yymmdd followed by a four digit consecutive number (0001, 0002 etc) for all photos taken on the same date.
Using the GetFile method only allows me to find the Date Created or Date Modified properties, but because the files have been copied and possibly rotated (modified) these will not always give me the date I want, which is the standard Date as viewed in Windows Explorer detailed view.
How can I find this property using VBA?
Thanks,
Chris

In all honesty, no - I'd just use Replace to get rid of them

Any idea why item 12 show the dates with question marks, eg "?01/?01/?2013 ??16:15", which the items 3 to 5 don't?
