Default Code Sign PW Protected Project?

Hi,

Well, in case anyone else was wondering about this, I
found the answer:

"Note Locking your VBA project doesn't prevent another
user from replacing the digital signature with another
signature. This is allowed so that a system administrator
or end user can replace a current signature with an
approved signature or re-sign a document after a previous
signature expires. "

in : Visual Basic Programmer's Guide
Securing Documents and VBA Code

Best Regards,
Walt

Hi,

I find I can code sign a password protected and unsigned
project with my certificate in the VBE even though I

don't
provide the password to open the project's code. This
seems odd to me. Is the code signing process intended

to
allow this?

Best Regards,
Walt
