Tablet PC / Access 2003 and Capturing Signatures

[squeezebot]

New to Tablet PC's and need to capture signatures to be stored in a
table on a per record basis.

Using XP SP3
Office 2003 SP3, installed Tablet SDK 1.7

I can find the InkEdit and InkPicture control and put it on the Access
form.

InkEdit can data bind to an OLE Object field, InkPicture can not (by
using the control properties box)

When running the form the InkEdit converts the pen stroke and
interprets it to characters.

Of course what I need is to save the pen stroke as a graphic in the
table.

Can anyone help?

Thanks In Advance.


PS: I can't seem to find any "clear" info on this. Is this outdated?
And, perhaps standard in later versions of Access?
I still need to do this in Access 2003, because of client
requirements.

Check out Stephen Lebans Image Class Picture box. I have used this
with E-pad signature hardware to capture and save signatures to a bound
OLE Field in an access table. Should work great on a tablet. The code
is pretty straight forward, and is an all access solution. You can find
it here:
