Build a new one and start adding to each workbook as you run into the
nag.

I use one for all my workbooks in 2003................not needed in
2007

One more look<g

I'll take it, and anyone else who has the answer, now or months later
- because it's quite an aggravation - all day long I'm answering macro
nags on my own files. 'Fer cryin' out loud, I backed up the selfcert
certificates! But so far, seemingly to no avail.

Since I chopped off the quote trail, if anyone needs it: I reinstalled
XP and Office 2003 (and 2007 coexisting, because I enjoy torture), SP2-
d Office2003, copied contents of \keys and \certificates directories
from backup ... and hoped that would allow my old selfcert
certificates to avert macro warnings for my own files.

Open MMC and FileOptions.........Under Console Mode which option is

I think you might be in User..limited access.....single window.

Can you select Author or User-Full access * ApplyOK *and Save that
mode?

Close and re-open.

When you click on FileAdd/Remove Snap-ins do you get a long list of

It's empty

Are you able to select Certificates and hit the Add button to add to
the right-side panel?

I don't show a right side panel on mine (XP SP2) - there's a dropbox,
a (currently all white, or empty) pane beneath that and buttons
Add,Remove,and About; and OK and Cancel. I can click add and on the
popup select Certificates, hit add there, and "Certificates-Current
User" appears. That's as far as I get, and the window where you'd
expect to see them is empty. And even that choice doesn't persist if I
close/reopen MMC.

Thanks for your interest and effort to explore this.
