How can I capture someone's signature on a tablet PC in Access?

[Guest]

Greetings.
I'm setting up a small database for my wife's business. We're going to be
using it to take orders. I'd like to have the clients sign the order
directly on the screen, store that signature in the database, and display it
on their copy of the order that we print out.
They show it on all the tablet PC comercials on TV so it must be possible,
right?

Thanks,
David

bumping since there seem to be no Microsoft documents anywhere that address
this.

I am trying to get the same question answered, I know it is possible because
I have seen it in an access database, however it is a "competitors" database.
I dont consider us competitors because I developed an Ambulance Database for
free for some of the districts that cannot afford to purchase one. The guy
won't tell me how he did it because he figures if I wasn't giving it for free
then they would buy from him. What an idiot. Let me know if you find
something out, (e-mail address removed), I wil do the same by posting an answer
here for you if I find something.

I've found some websites that describe how to do this, but they all seem to
require Visual Studio C# to make it work. Since I don't have that (and my
Access skills leave a great deal to be desired), I'm still not getting
anywhere with this. I was really hoping that someone would have a simple
make-x-object-modify-settings-thusly method for doing this.

Maybe ***MICROSOFT*** will see this and release an Ink plug-in or patch
(hint, hint

Where did you see this with Visual Studio C#. I think I have that. If there
was just someway to open MS Paint to capture the image then save it in a
related field. I would like to take a look at the C# stuff you found. Can you
respond with the URL, I might be able to figure more out from those sights.
