    Save ink signature from form to table

    Hello, After extensive research I am unable to figure out how to store an ink signature from a form to a table. I have a surface pro, access 2013 and would like for my clients to sign a form and then have that signature saved to the table. This is pretty much my last option, hope someone can help.

    The form field, is connected to the table field of type OLE.
    I store my signatures and photos here.

    Thanks for the reply. I have used the OLE type field within my table and form. However, from my experience when I want to sign the form. I actually have to pick the type OLE object that needs to be inserted within that field. I'm looking for something a little more intuitive and fluid. Been trying the inkpicture ActiveX control but there is no way to assign the source to the OLE Object Field.

    The signature has to first be saved as an external image file (jpg, bmp, png) then can be saved into OLEObject or Attachment type field. Review https://www.accessforums.net/databas...res-54211.html
