    Tablet PC Ink Drawing in Infopath doesn't work

     

    I'm creating a customer sign up form which has an ink picture for drawings. I've gone through the help files over and over. I've updated office and searched everywhere.

    When I insert an ink drawing,  I can't write on or in the ink picture when previewing or filling out the form. I also have a rich text box which accept the ink pen and then converts it to text. So I know the tablet pc drivers and setting are working. Ink works in every other program as well. So it has to be a problem with the ink picture. It's binding is correct according to the microsoft help files.

    Am I missing something? I have tried for hours to get this thing to work!

    Have you tried putting a picture in the control?  I believe you have to have that first and then can ink on top of it.

    Well.  I had used this in InfoPath 2003 and XP tablet. But just trying it with Vista and 2007 SP1 I was able to confirm that I could not get ink on a picture, and reading again a background image is optional.

    What OS and IP version are you using?

     Yes! I figured it out. This is so stupid but I've ran into alot of people online that are having the same problem. I have 64 bit Vista on an IBM tablet pc. When you insert an ink picture, it's option to have a background image or nothing at all. And when you fill it out, you have to draw on the picture with ink entry mode TURNED OFF. But when you fill out a rich text field, you have to have ink mode turned on. Hopefully this helps some people out. I tried for hours to get it to work. You would think that it would have to be in ink entry mode to draw on the picture.
