I am copying JPG images from Outlook attachments within an Access application I have developed. I am saving the .JPG files to C:\ drive and would like to add text, such as the date and user comment, to the bottom of the image when I save the file.
blockquote> With oMessage.Attachments
.Item(iCtr).SaveAsFile "C:\" & .Item(iCtr).FileName
End With
Looking forward to any suggestions or sample code on how to do this?
Thank you in advance any help that is offered.

If mean you mean to actually embed the text as part of the image, have you tried using MS Paint? There is no easy code to do that.

You're doing this in Access? Stephen Lebans' beyond awesome Image control work should more than lend a hand...

OOh . . . Leigh - that is a clever find. Now I gotta set some time aside and test it out in A2K7/10.
ighwayrob - what version of Access are you using?

I am in Access 2007 with Visual Basic 6.5
I have downloaded and I am testing Stephen Lebans code...looks promising. I am going to import the modules into my project and see if I can get it to fly!

Here is the condensed version of the code that ended up working.
Oinstalled ImageMagick and used the 'convert.exe' program.
Oddly, it does not accept spaces in the comment I am adding, a problem I will someday get back to and fix.
localfname = "C:\orig.jpg"
newlocalfname = "C:\new.jpg
tempComment = Format(Now, "Short Date") & "Comment_goes_here"
cmdString = PicDir & "convert " & localfname & " -background Khaki label:'" & tempComment & "' -gravity Center -append " & newlocalfname
Screen.MousePointer = 11
Call Shell(cmdString, vbNormalFocus)
