Iam using a HP Ipaq to gather information and there is a sketch field on the Ipaq that is for a signature, is there a field in access that will take a signature, everthing imports fine accept the signature which is the most important bit due to being the customer acceptance.

Thanks
 
Just found a bit more information on this, the software iam using on my ipaq is Pocket PC creations which stores the signature as Binary is there anyway of getting this into a field within access.
 
Depends on the nature of the binary. If it is copmpatible with a common imgae format you might be able to import it into an image field in Access (I'm really guessing here though).

Have fun! :eek:)

Hi, you should be able to store it in an 'OLE Object' field, you can put any binary data into this field. Google for ADO and BLOB and you should find some examples. Hope this points you in the right direction.

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
