Picture datatype in Access 2003

[Sofer]

Hope someone of your clever folks can help
I have an InfoPath form (on a tablet PC) bound to an Access 2003 database
table
I want to store an ink signature (created using a InfoPath Ink Picture
control) into the Access database, as part of the form (eg. signature to
prove receipt of goods)

All the documentation I have come across state that the MsAccess data type
needs to be PICTURE. I can't see a Picture data type in the Access Table
Data Types selection pull down criteria

Any ideas?

Maybe 'OLE Object' ?

HTH,

Tried that, but InfoPath cannot connect to a OLE Object. It says the
connecting field in the database has to be a picture format

I can't see what else it could be. You say that it expects an Access
database? How about quoting the exact text of the relevant part of the
documentation?

Cheers,
TC
