I have created a database in Access. There are forms that multiple users
need to fill out. I have pdf signatures stored in a table in Access. Is it
possible to automatically include the signature on a report if an "accepted"
check box is checked on the form?
 
Presumably your signatures are in an OLE Object field. In that case, you
should be able to use a Bound Object Frame control to display the field
content as normal. But beware - the frame may have to load another program
in order to interpret the content correctly and that can be expensive on
memory and running speed for the report (especially if it loads Acrobat every
time the report is run). It might be better to store your scanned in
signatures in a different format that will provide greater efficiency, like a
gif format. Either way, you need to think seriously about database security.
Storing signatures in an unsecured store is dodgy practice at best,
professinally negligent at worst.
