Signing an electronic document

I have a document that in paper form I would take around and get 3 signatures
before the project could be approved. I want to do this electronically. Is
there a way to give each prospective signer a secure electronic signature so
that 1) I know that they at least signed approval and 2) that someone else
(other than a designee - secretary for example) did not just fill in the
space with their name?

Are there ways to have several electronic signatures or passwork that would
insert a signature for a givin person?

I asked a similar question a while back but I cant find it or the responses.

Thanks

Not sure how you could do this, because how do you stop someone else from
getting their electronic signature?

Perhaps a way round this is to give users who can sign a login & password
which only they know. They could then 'sign' a project off by entering this
information & assuming nobody else knows their login/password, you know they
signed it. Logging their username, & datetime of signature would probably be
beneficial as well...

I am using Microsoft Access 2000. I have created tables and from that forms
that will be filled out for documentation of OSHA's PSM standard. To make
these official documents I have fields for signatures. I would rather have
these filled in electronically then having the document printed out and a
paper copy floating around. That sort of defeats the purpose of the MS
Access database and forms that I have created.

I've done this using an Access 2000 frontend against an SQL Server 2000
backend.

In that scenario, I used a trigger to store the domain username in a table.
The signature column was then hidden from all but the dba.
