Hi Dave and Michael,

Thanks for yuor answers.

I apologize for not explaining my question correctly. So let me try it again.

I want to add the date taken to the jpeg file so that when I open the files,
I can see the date the snap was taken. Some new cameras have this facilty to
add the date in the right lower corner of the photo. Mine does not have it.
(Olympus C5060W)

So let us say I took a photo today (Dec 18, 2005). I would like to open this
photo on PC, and then would like to add this date (12/18/2005) in its lower
right corner. So if I view this photo again after say one year, I should be
able to see the date on which it was taken.

The following figure may explain it better. The rectangle shown is a photo.
