The application is used by people who have a small "tablet" PC with a stylus.

Can the user of the form send a partially completed or saved InfoPath form to another InfoPath user (also with a stylus) and then request that that InfoPath user sign the form using their stylus (we use "ink pictures" for these)?

Or do I need to somehow create a workflow and use SharePoint? We're just in the very early stages of getting SharePoint, but we probably won't use it initially for what I'm doing because of timeframes (my stuff's going out the door much sooner).

Thanks,

Jim
