Hi Lee,
An act of Congress authorized the use of electronic signatures as
part of commerce over the internet.
MS Access apparently has that capability built into it.
I would suggest that FileMaker come up to the 21s Century with
respect to the same.
Regards,
Chuck

not being a lawyer i thought this sort of thing would come under
the same legal fact that you may have a signed check but that
doesn't mean its your check. The validity of any document is only
as good as your legal right to it

Chuck,
I don't think there is a legal way. I am not sure what you are
trying to do here.
Since the fm file would leave the chain of custody, the
authentication of an electronic record maybe considered compromised.

Is there a way to apply an electronic signature to a FMP record
or even a one-record DB?
I need some legally acceptable means of verifying that a certain
individual using a certain computer generated or populated a
single-record database, as in a FMPA generated solution that has
only one record in it that a user populates and then sends via e-
mail to another individual. The document/database is in blank
and not specifically designated for that individual when they
get it and begin to populate it.
Any suggestions?
