    Infopath 2007 Ink Picture with SQL Server 2008

    Hi, I'm relatively new to Infopath. I'm using:

    • Infopath 2007
    • SQL Server 2008
    • Laptop with touchscreen

     I'm trying to create an Ink Picture control to capture physical signatures on the touchscreen.

    In the database I've tried these data types so far: image, ntext, nvarchar(MAX), varbinary(MAX).

    All of these types are listed as "simpleType" when Infopath links to the database.

    When I try to create an Ink Picture control in a new form, I recieve the error: "A picture control whose picture is included in the form must be bound to a non-repeating field with a picture data type."

    I cannot change the field's data type within Infopath. There is no such data type as "picture" as shown in the error message, and I cannot find anything which will force Infopath to recognise the fields as base64 compatible.

    I am at a loss with this. Is there a way to use Infopath to save drawn signatures into a SQL table?

    Thanks,

    Joel

    Since I couldn't get InkPicture to work with Infopath, I wrote my own form using ADODB with a Userform in Excel.
