Set and get properties from jpeg image

Is there a way in vb6 to read and store information in a JPEG file. I
have a program which saves jpeg files to a folder but in the process I
want to store a subject (text) somewhere in the file other than the
filename.
Can vb access the picture properties and change or add to them?

Diggy-

I don't know how to do it, but an image file can contain some data in
its "EXIF" fields (EXchangeable Image File Format).

I believe there are existing programs that can edit the EXIF
information. Finding a specification for the EXIF format would help you
customize yours. From Google, a possible resource is
<http://www.exif.org/>.
