Printing a signature on a report

[mikebrewer]

Hi all,

I have an application where I have some users in the field with tablets and they deliver a package and the receiver will sign for it (like UPS or FedEx essentially). They sign my application and then the application saves the signature to a SQL Database in binary data. I'm using the Microsoft InkPicture ActiveX control to achieve this. After they sign, I have a line of code that equals:

Me.RecBySignature = Me.RecBySig.Ink.Save

This works fine and I can also recall the signature to the form when the form is re-opened.

What I don't know how to do is to put the signature on a report. Is there a way to "draw" the signature on the report? Or to print it to the screen?

thanks!

I haven't used that method, but don't like seeing threads go unanswered. I would expect the same method you use on the form to work on the report. I use Topaz signature pads and they also have an ActiveX control. I can put that on a report and get the signature there. If memory serves, it requires code, but presumably that would be in your ActiveX instructions if yours also works that way.
