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!

You could use signatures, but you could also use a swipe card that is assigned to each authorized employee. Just as good as a signature and harder to forge.

I've talked to them about employee cards before (we already have a VFP
timeclock app and I've already got a magnetic card reader option) but
what they want to capture is the customer's signature. Kind of a "sign
here to agree that you agree to getting what you got." thing.

Maybe look at getting a tablet? I think they still sell those...
Not sure if the Samsung series 7 slate can work with a pen, but is has touch screen so in theory it should but I can't find anything online that says one way or the other. I've seen demos with them running Windows 8, but it comes with Win 7 Home Premium out of the box.
It is pretty cool, but rather pricey. Depending on what size SDD it comes with, and if want 3g or wifi, it is 1000 plus...

Thanks Lou. I've never looked at MSoft tablet technology, but my
understanding is that (like a lot of good things) MSoft has abandoned
it? I wonder if Win 8 incorporates any kind of touch-technology (with
supporting hardware.)

Look for a pad that connect to a tablet via usb. Then any software would capture the signature
and export to somewhere. A VFP program could grab the exported signature.
There are more details but you can figure them out.

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!

Thanks for that Eurico! That looks exactly like what I'll have to do.
If anyone sees any kind of Windows-based hardware that has a pressure
sensitive pad built-in, incorporated into the computer device, that
could also be used to capture signatures, that would be ideal.
