Insert Exif Data into image file

[ugoldrake]

Hello everybody I'm new in this forum.
I've found some 3Ds that could help me, but the code I find doesn't work.
I've to insert gpsLat and gpsLon into my image file.jpg
I use VBA in Access 2010.

I prepare the command line:

Code Select Expand

"ExifTool -GPSLatitude=" & latt & " -GPSLatitudeRef=N -GPSLongitude=" & lonn & " -GPSLongitudeRef=W " & """" & Img_001.jpg & """"where latt and lonn are the values of the lat and lon I want to insert.

Than I use it:

Code Select Expand

    shell.Run exifCommand, 1, False
I tried also -GPSLatitude*, uselessly...

When I search Lat and Lon in the properties of the image file I don't find them: WHY?
Where am I wrong?

1. Try running the command from the command line to see if it is a problem with your shell.Run syntax.

2. Use ExifTool from the command line to read back the metadata to verify it was inserted.

Also, you can simplify things by letting exiftool figure out the N/S/E/W references.  Just pass your latt/lonn to the reference tags.

Code Select Expand

exiftool -GPSLatitude=" & latt & " -GPSLatitudeRef=" & latt & " -GPSLongitude=" & lonn & " -GPSLongitudeRef=" & lonn
