Groove & Infopath (ink signatures, data from MDB)

[Joe S.]

I have two questions regarding Groove and InfoPath.. I hope someone out
there knows the answers =)

The first question is simply how do I take customers signatures in an
InfoPath form in Groove?
Works great using an Ink Picture in InfoPath, but when in Groove you loose
the ability to simply ink on the picture with a tablet PC etc..

Secondly, I have an InfoPath form that is used for work orders, it has
customer, technician, etc..
I used to lookup Customers names and Tech names from a MDB stored on the
local hard drive, anyone know how to look this up in an MDB that resides in
Groove (or is this not feasible???)

Thanks in advance I hope someone can help!

Not sure about the ink issue as it does work in groove tools like chat and
discussion on a tablet but not in the other tools. could you be more specific
- infopath does support ru\ich text fields that in principle should accept Ink

re the mdb issue alas no - a file stored in groove does not stay in it's
native format and cannot be accessed as such till it is exported / launched
from the tool.

I'm talking about an ink picture control, it wont accept ink in InfoPath as
a digital signature... Any workarounds anyone?
