I am trying to add an signature field to a form on an existing Access 2003 application. Whilst I can add an InkPicture Object to the form, I am struggling to try and find a method / example of how to save the entered signature either to the db or a separate file (I am sure I am missing something obvious in the VB6 code to save the object).
The application will be developing up to 15 signatures a day. Initial thought are that this will cause bloat which will gradually slow the db and thus am looking at storing the signatures as files external to the db. Is this sensible or is the compression available with Ink sufficient to allow storing Ink images without an impact on db performance.
The db is Access 2003 using VB6 with Win XP Tablet Edition.
Any help with sample code or comments on the proposed method of storage would be appreciated.
