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.

Just as good as a signature and harder to forge. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Copeland<m...@ggisoft.com> To: profoxt...@leafe.com Cc: Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 6:14 PM Subject: Signature Capture, part two 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!
