Default checkbox "Always trust macros from this source" shaded out

Hi Stephen,
I have figured out I just had to give a name to the certificate (please
ignore my previous post), so I have succesfully exported it and installed it
on my collegue's machine.
I have tried storing it under "personal cert", or "other users", etc but the
check box of the macro alert is still greyed out!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, best regards,
Valeria

Hi Valeria,

yes, I used SelfCert... what else should I use to enable the "Always trust
macros from this source" option on other computers?


If it's only one or two computers that you 'control' (e.g. work colleagues),
you might be able to get away with exporting the signature from your machine
and installing it on theirs. Use Control Panel Internet Options Content
Certificates to export/import the certificate.


For more general distribution, you need to purchase a proper digital
certificate from someone like Thawte (www.thawte.com) or Verisign
(www.verisign.com)
