the record is what it purports to be, and has not been changed since

If not, what do you mean by "HIPAA compliant digital signature"?
Who is giving you that requirement?

HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIPAA
To answer the post,
I would not use Access if you have to be HIPPA compliant or compliant with
any other legislation that's out there. While Access security can lock down
access to the objects and data - it is *NOT* lead tight. I'd go with a
commerical product first before I even tried to build something.

Actually Access is used quite extensively in informatics (IT for health care
environs.) As long as it's run on a secured network there's really no problem,
assuming that the network complies with HIPAA regs. I know several people in
master's programs for Informatics and they've all been required to take
courses in Access. For an app that's intended to be run over the internet I'd
agree with dch3.
BTW, for the unintiated, HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act) is another of those Congressional boondoggles that was
designed to do one thing (make sure that people with health problems
maintained health care coverage when changing job by limiting "pre-existing
illness" clauses from group health policies) and as a by product did
something else.
The something else was to establish governmental regs as to how health care
records are handled to insure patient confidentiality. Some estimates place
the additional cost to the health care bill for American citizens at ***8
billion dollars a year!***

No wonder my first thought was that it dealt with patient records &
confidentiality.
