Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone might know anything about adding digital pens to forms, What I would like to do is be able to use my digital pen and sign my name and have it appear on my form. I would like to use this with a data access form, however if it cant be done there then it would be nice to use it on a regular form. I am using access 2003 and am familiar with Vb, HTML, access 2002. Can anyone help? Thanks
 
Hi NewfieSarah,

Try signing your name in a paint program or scanning your signature into jpeg file and insert this into your form.
Remember, there may be security issues with having you signature in a file for all to use.

Hey Ian, Thanks for the advice, However I am not sure that you get what I am trying to say. I have found some code for a tablet pc, however it is for Visual Basic not access. I was now wondering if it will work for what I am trying to do. I need to allow a use to write on the tablet and have their name appear on the form (screen) then be able to save and clear that file. Ie. Motor regestration has this function availabe for when you sign for id purposes. Got any more help in you from this info?? Thanks
This is the link to the code that I have found: Hope it helps you to help me.
