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'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!
