can I create an electronic signature for an access record?

[Bill from New Mexico]

I need to create a HIPAA compliant digital signature for each record in an
Access database table

A digital signature as in "An electronic mechanism that ensures that
the record is what it purports to be, and has not been changed since
the signature was affixed"?

If not, what do you mean by "HIPAA compliant digital signature"?
Who is giving you that requirement?

HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

To answer the post,
I would not use Access if you have to be HIPPA compliant or compliant with
any other legislation that's out there. While Access security can lock down
access to the objects and data - it is *NOT* lead tight. I'd go with a
commerical product first before I even tried to build something.

No wonder my first thought was that it dealt with patient records &
confidentiality.
