Razzak,
I am reading between the lines, and dreaming a bit. Are you saying
it is possible to have a form with an editable field that you could
'write' in on a tablet PC?
That is exactly what I am trying to copy another vendor was trying
to sell my Boss. If I can emulate that, we will be buying 15
Tablets, and I am writing a whole Service Tech suite to do invoicing
in the field and trasmit the data back so we can have our numbers in
real time rather than waiting days for paper invoices to come back
in, then having someone type them all in.
But capturing a customer signature is the key.

pretty USELESS for interfacing with RBase.
Remember, nothing is impossible!
Did you know that you can use "any" format to interface with R:BASE,
including the multi-page images?
Here's a comprehensive list of supported formats for R:BLOB Editor
in R:BASE 7.6, Turbo V-8, and R:BASE eXtreme (ver 9.0) for Windows:
. DCX File (.dcx)
. Enhanced Meta Files (.emf)
. GIF File (.gif)
. Icon Files (.ico)
. JPEG (.jpg)
. JPEG (.jpeg)
. Meta Files (.wmf)
. Portable Network Graphics (.png)
. TIFF File (.tif)
. TIFF File (.tiff)
. TrueVision Targa (.afi)
. TrueVision Targa (.tga)
. TrueVision Vista (.vst)
. Windows Bitmap (.bmp)
. ZSoft PC Paintbrush (.pcc)
. ZSoft PC Paintbrush (.pcx)
In addition, using the R:CADViewer, you can also manage any CAD
drawing and document with the following CAD extensions:
.hgl, .hg, .hpg, .plo, .hp, .hp1, .hp2, .hpgl, .hpgl2, .gl2,
.prn, .spl, .tif, .tiff, .fax, .bw, .bmp, .rgb, .rgba, .sgi,

FWIW, the following related topics are also scheduled for the
10th Anniversary R:BASE Developers' Conference:
. Managing Binary Large Objects (BLOBs)
