Yes, exactly. But I wonder if anyone has integrated a signature pad into

a table or pad computer device? Since I'd like to do this with a VFP

application, it would have to run Windoze. And, the smaller the device

is, the better since it would be carried 90% of the time.

Thanks Peter!

Subject: Signature Capture, part two

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!
