I'm using the Signatures collection in VB 6, and I am trying to enable
our users to easily sign an open Word 2003 document. My company is
going to redo all existing company forms into InfoPath from Word and
Excel, but they want me to create a temporary solution to sign the
existing Word and Excel documents until that can be completed. I have
two problems:
1.) The user starts the whole signature process by checking a checkbox
in the Word document, detected by my VB COM object. After the checkbox
is clicked, I call the signature.add method to add the signature. I
want to capture the signer and signdate inside this same Word document,
in a protected Form Field, so I need to find a way to do that BEFORE
the signature is committed, but I can't get that to work. It does not
like me changing the doc before the .commit method on the signature is
executed, and changing it after, of course, invalidates the signature.
2.) Some of these Word documents have more than one signature
required. I know the CAPICOM dll has a cosign method, but the
Signatures collection in the Word library does not have similar
functionality, as far as I can tell. When looking into the CAPICOM dll
library, and examples that I found, I don't see how to sign this OPEN
Word document, just a closed file.
Thanks in advance!
