Electronic Signature Capture

[no1biscuit]

I have a tablet pc (UMPC) and I am wanting to have the customer sign the device and store that Signature. Does anyone know how to accomplish this in Access?

Thanks in advance.

We use DBPix 2.0 which is a addin works fine. We capture the signature on PDAs and then transfer it to access where it is stored in a feild as a binary object, DBPix then creates it back to a signature to display on reports etc.

Just watch out, you db will grow is size as the binary object takes up a couple of k for each one.

If you go down this route thenyou might want to think about storing the complete report as a pdf, this is what we are messing with now.

So what is the datatype you use for the access database to store the binary object?

Thanks
