How do you design/setup a signature/approval field in Infopath

[Jeffro]

Needed some suggestions on how to set up a signature field in a
Infopath form. Have a form that a user will fill out then when they
click on the Submit button will email form to a individual then they
will review and "sign off" on the form and in turn will email to other
individuals. Outside of using "Digital Signatures" which is not a
option and want to get around having a text field that a user will type
in their name. Was trying to set up a "read only" text box that when a
user clicks on a "Sign" button, their username or email address will
automatically populate the "Read Only" text box.

Can't seem to come up with the code to perform this function.
Thanks for any suggestions.

link the email address to a database list of names so when the users selects
or types in an email address the read-only field is filled in with the
authorisers name so that the authoriser only has to review and then submit
the form.

Does that help?

ok this is not to hard .
you need to make a rule on the "sign this form" button.
set it to change the value of your signiture field.
set the value to the emailaddress or name field from your dataset.
DONE!
If you have any questions just email me I will help any way I can
