    i have a Think Pad eqp'd with a pen. The database is SQL Server, the interface is IE8. We are going to create a data entry form that we want to be able to sign as a signature with the pen... and have the actual signature stored (as an image???) is there any place to go that will explain how that is set up? the programming staff uses .net framework to create the web pages... i just wanted to know how dificult this will be. is it just a matter of giving the field a special data type and your done of is there a lot more behind all this?

    I can't speak to the signature image acquision but the database part is easy.  Store the signature image in a varbinary(MAX) column.  The web application would just pass the byte array or image stream as a command parameter.

    I do not think, no direct way to store signature in SQL server. You need to convert the signature into image then can insert the same as BLOB object in SQL server.
