Has anyone incorporated a way to sign a signature and store that signature using an electronic device?

Like the UPS or other delievery carriers use - you have to sign your name in order to get the package. That signature is them some how stored electronically.

We are looking at using something like this but I don't know where to start.

One example how this would be used is: A truck carrier arrives to pickup a load. After the product is loaded on the truck, the truck driver then would sign thier name on the device, that signature would then be transfered and displayed on the form, the user completes the load and that signature would be saved and printed on the Bill of Lading.

Any ideas of a product that would fit my needs? I am still looking, but maybe someone else an idea as well.

I am guessing that the hardware device would have it's own software. Maybe after a signature is signed, the user would go back to the pc, download the signature (maybe some sort of picture...jpg or bmp) to a set location, have my Access form monitor that location and once there is a signature, display it on the form.

Thanks!

This site looks like it may accomplish what I am looking for. Even though I don't have s signature device hooked to my pc, the demo looks like it will work.

Thought I would share what I have found so far...
