Touch Screen conversion

489 256MB
I was wondering if there is an easy way to convert my existing Access (2007) application to have touch screen capabilities.

The program doesn't need touch screen capability. It needs to react to the events that come from the touch screen, which are basically mouse events. As always, consider the environment when you program. You'll want to avoid requiring keyboard entry as much as possible. Don't crowd your objects (fingers are bigger than mouse pointers).

The particular touch screen may have utilities/settings that will be useful to know about. Investigate the hardware and supporting software before beginning.
