Can OneNote do this? drsilicone 5/22/2007 4:09:01 PM I have an event which requires a liability form be signed by the participants. One by one I wish to have a participant view the liability form on my laptop screen. I wish to have to peripheral devices fill appropriate fields in this form. First -- I have a magnetic card reader (which puts data in excel with a simple swipe no problem) that I will swipe a driver's license -- The data includes delimited Name, Address, Age, and driver's license number --- which I want to fill the appropriate fields at the top of the waiver form. Second -- upon viewing the form which has been personalized -- the participant would sign on the second peripheral -- an electronic signature pad which I don't have yet but assume it's a TWAIN compliant capture device which should then populate a signature field at the bottom of the form. Third -- I need to archive that completed form as a graphic -- in addition, the scanned demographic data should also be saved in (linked to?) a simple database for later analysis which can also be saved. I'm trying to save huge paper waste and make our membership process much easier -- can anyone help with a method? suggestions on the best program or programming method? someone who could accomplish this task quickly and easily?

RE: Can OneNote do this? ChesterCoronel 5/24/2007 5:39:01 AM OneNote is more of a note-taking application rather than an application that can do forms. I think Microsoft Office InfoPath is a good program for this purpose. -- Chester C.

Re: Can OneNote do this? "Ben M. Schorr, MVP" <bens[ at ]bogusaddress.mvp> 5/24/2007 5:54:43 AM I don't think OneNote would be a very elegant platform for this app. InfoPath *might* be a better choice - the key problems will be in getting the data from Excel and saving it out to a database. I suspect InfoPath will be a lot easier for that sort of thing or maybe Access. You might want to post this question in the newsgroups for InfoPath. -- -Ben- Ben M.
