Can OneNote do this?

[drsilicone]

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?

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.

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.
