And depending which OS you are on (it seems) check the thread in this NG:

I notice that it is possible in windows explorer to attached comments and
other fields to JPEG files.

Is it possible to read those comments using excel VBA? What about writing
them?

I am considering using some of the property fields (eg comments, keywords,
titles, authors etc) to store info on our photos but I would like to be
able
to extract into excel and ideally update the fields from excel.

Any help welcome, Kaval
