I need to determine the date of some photos that were emailed to me. The date created/modified on the file properties is the date I received the email. Is there any way to determine when the photos were taken if there is no date stamp?

please guys, i have a match tonight

how do you get to the meta data? is this the same as the advanced tab on the properties? it has the camera type, resolution, some other stuff i don't remember, but no date field.

^advanced doesn't always show the full EXIF data - then again crappy cameras don't record full EXIF data either

hmm, i guess a cleverly worded response may be the best course of action then.
