Liz (and all),

After a little more research, I think I've figured out how to get the 
graphic file up to the CWS OCX.  I'll just base64 encode it, so it is 
just plain text, and then add that as a field to the transaction.  This 
will greatly increase how much data is being sent, but shouldn't cause 
any issues I can think of.

Using your idea, I think I can decode and store these graphic files in 
some user-directed folder on the hard drive, maybe split out by year & 
month so it doesn't become unmanageable.

The end result of this is to show a report of all signatures for a 
client.  How would I create a report to show these graphics, if they are 
all stored 'outside the database'?  Do I read these into a :PRIV: 
table's memo/blob fields?  Or is there a way to cause the report to 
directly display a bunch of graphic files?

If anyone sees any gotchas in this, let me know.

TIA,
Jim Moseley
