Signing an electronic document

[Guest]

I have a document that in paper form I would take around and get 3 signatures
before the project could be approved. I want to do this electronically. Is
there a way to give each prospective signer a secure electronic signature so
that 1) I know that they at least signed approval and 2) that someone else
(other than a designee - secretary for example) did not just fill in the
space with their name?

Are there ways to have several electronic signatures or passwork that would
insert a signature for a givin person?

I asked a similar question a while back but I cant find it or the responses.

Thanks

Not sure how you could do this, because how do you stop someone else from
getting their electronic signature?

Perhaps a way round this is to give users who can sign a login & password
which only they know. They could then 'sign' a project off by entering this
information & assuming nobody else knows their login/password, you know they
signed it. Logging their username, & datetime of signature would probably be
beneficial as well...

Well it does not sound like you are using Microsoft Access database to
create or distribute your document.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.

I am using Microsoft Access 2000. I have created tables and from that forms
that will be filled out for documentation of OSHA's PSM standard. To make
these official documents I have fields for signatures. I would rather have
these filled in electronically then having the document printed out and a
paper copy floating around. That sort of defeats the purpose of the MS
Access database and forms that I have created.

I've done this using an Access 2000 frontend against an SQL Server 2000
backend.

In that scenario, I used a trigger to store the domain username in a table.
The signature column was then hidden from all but the dba.
