saving Signatures to an Access DB

[Guest]

Just out of interest has anyone developed Access dBs for tablet PCs. What Im
looking for is a fom where the client signs the completed form??

If so could you give me a few pointers on capturing the signature from the
screen and how was it stored in the DB

thanks

Unfortunately, there is no really good solution to capturing signatures on a
TabletPC. Like earlier versions, Access 2003 does not directly support data
entry using a digital pen. Excel and Word do support that and you could
conceivably use a combination of applications to store and display your
data. The other possibilities include saving bitmaps of signatures and
linking them to an Access text or OLE field, or writing a custom application
using C++ or one of the dot net languages.
