Tablet PC / Access 2003 and Capturing Signatures

S

squeezebot

New to Tablet PC's and need to capture signatures to be stored in a
table on a per record basis.

Using XP SP3 
Office 2003 SP3, installed Tablet SDK 1.7

I can find the InkEdit and InkPicture control and put it on the
Access 
form.

InkEdit can data bind to an OLE Object field, InkPicture can not (by
using the control properties box)

When running the form the InkEdit converts the pen stroke and
interprets it to characters.

Of course what I need is to save the pen stroke as a graphic in the
table.

Can anyone help?

Thanks In Advance.

PS: I can't seem to find any "clear" info on this. Is this outdated?
And, perhaps standard in later versions of Access?

I still need to do this in Access 2003, because of client
requirements.

Try capturing the signature in MS Paint, and binding the resulting graphic
to the OLE Object field.
