Access And Tablet PC

[hl383]

Do you know if I can program Access to recognize hand writting? Do
you know of good resources (libraries, sample apps, documentation to
program Access on the tablet?)

Thank you

I have a tablet pc. Typically you'd use a "keyboard tool" to enter
data in fields. You just set focus to a field, then use the tool to
enter the data. In my tool I can select either hand writing or peck on
a mini keyboard or a third form (single character entry).

Seems like what you want is to hand-write in the fields themselves.
No, Access out of the box can't do that. You would need a text control
that can understand hand writing. I'm not aware of any such control
from Microsoft but you might want to check msdn.microsoft.com.
Otherwise get them from a good 3rd party vendor.
