The discussion earlier this week about signature capture presents an

interesting topic.

I'd like to look into adding signature capture to my inventory control

application, but the use of a non-portable signature pad connected to a

desktop computer (running Windows) is certainly doable and an option,

but it would be a HUGE plus to be able to capture the signature on a

tablet-type of device. iPads and Android pads are not "Fox friendly" in

any way shape form or fashion. I guess one option would be a laptop with

a signature pad via USB.

Does Microsoft currently provide/sell any kind of a tablet OS that

supports hardware that will run VFP9 AND provide a stylus interface for

signature capture on the device's screen? Can anyone point me in the

right direction? I guess the "VFP" requirement pretty much dictates the

use of Windows on whatever hardware.

In addition to using this in a warehouse environment where the customer

signs off as they take possession of a product, it would also be a huge

plus for use by service and repair technicians who travel to your home

or business. And in that same scenario, such an ability to capture a

signature would also be useful for a POS CCard signature (although there

are workarounds.) I'm thinking that something like the UPS drivers use

is pretty much the holy grail in this scenario.

Thanks for all suggestions!
