Signature program

[molly]

Does anyone know of a program which will "create" a signature from a typed in name? I have 2 bosses who write their names in a flowery manner that takes about 1/3 the paper, yet they are so verbose that the sentences take up 90% of the page!! and they want it all on 1 cover page.
So i need a program that i could type their name and a computer BMP signature would be created which i would embed into the access report.

So they agree that we could use a "bogus" computer generated signature which be smaller. The actual signature has no value to us. This is not a legal thing.

Any suggestions. thanks

An idea for you:

a - Scan, edit and optomise your images (two signatures)

b - Create a report and insert the image into it,nothing else. Remove headers, footers, etc. Save it as rptSig1

c - Repeat above with other sig and save as rptSig2

d - In your real report drag both above reports on as sub reports. Make both invisible and position very close to each other

e - In the "on open" (or on format?) event of your report check who authorised the report and set the relevant subreport.visible=true

This is a good way to do it so if the signatures change, or they want to add a personal message you only have to chnge the one source subreport rather than every one using it.

haven't explained this too well cos I'm zzzz but hopefully you get the gist.

Laterz, JB

There are a number of companies that will create true type fonts from scanned signatures and logos for quite reasonable prices. This means you can just type in the signature (or logo) in the normal way.

Hey JB,

You have an unanswered post to finish.
