Phil, Bogdan,

Thanks very much for your help. I guess, with what you say in mind, I dont need to bother myself with the MakerNotes!? Slightly irritating that I spent a day trying to access these "MakerNotes" but I guess that's always the way when you're learning stuff.

I've still not managed to find the maker notes but at least I can get on with writing my database contents with the details of my pictures. If anyone feels like explaining the maker notes and where they can be found, that'd be fab.

Meanwhile, thanks once again to you both. Thanks especially to Phil for the code example.
