1. does anyone know how to capture the image from a digicam and insert into a SQL server database using vb .net? You might want to check out Windows Image Acquisition here[^]. No garantee that it will work with your camera though. It would appear that you have to check with the manufacturer of the camera to see what device drivers are available for it and any possible SDK's. You also might want to check for TWAIN compatibility. That should make your life much easier when using the WIA API's. Once you have the images, it's not that hard to put them into an SQL database. This[^] article describes the process for use with an Access database, but the concepts apply to SQL databases as well. 2. How to capture the signature file using a pentablet hardware using vb .net and save the image into SQL server? You're probably going to have to depend on the manufacturer for the SDK's and docs for this one. But, once again, when you get the image, the SQL part is easy. RageInTheMachine9532
