Cool how do you convert a dat file to jpeg??
I recently rec'vd a couple attachements from a family member. Turns out only one of the two would open, the jpeg old family photo.
Maybe before I wonder how to convert the file I should ask--
could the dat file be something other than another photo?
Thanx

As John said, it could be almost anything. Often .dat files are comma delimited and contain ASCII format. Thos can usually be opened in Word or Notepad.

Better contact the family member and ask what the dat file is!

That or you could open it in notepad and see if anyone recognized it.

I doubt its a picture - seems strange that they would send 1 picture in jpeg and hide others in a dat file.

To be honest i dont think its a picture usually when sending two files the same e.g. 2 pics they will be sent under same program e.g. jpeg its more likely to be a letter or other word processed item
