Experience with electronically signed documents

[Bob Alston]

Anyone here with experience with using electronically signed documents
and Access? My client has some documents which must be signed and
retained. they are interested in using electronic signatures. It seems
to me that I could take a document in an Access database, print it to a
PDF document format and then use a Verisign utility to electronically
sign it, and then store the entire document back in the database if
desired, or send it off via email or fax.

Anyone with experience in this arena who is willing to share?

We use scans of people's signatures, then use an If/Then/Else to
determine which signature to make visible.

I don't know if that helps at all...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately while that may look good as a
document, it does not pass the test of 1) authenicating the signature;
or 2) authenicating that the document contents is unchanged since the
signature was placed on it.
