Digitally signing VBA Project
I want to digitally sign my macro, so that all our offices can use it
(without prompts). I know I can use SelfCert.exe, but I would like one which is recognised by windows as a trusted source (so all my users don't have to add my self cert on every machine). I have spoken to Verisign - they charge $499, I looked at GoDaddy, and they don't make them. Is there a more affordable source of one of these certificates? M |

You probably will not find any cheap sources for a digital certificate. Most
users of digital certificates are commercial entities who can recover the cost of the certificate through sales of their products. Obtaining a certificate for "convenience" to avoid security warnings may be more costly than the value received in processing ease. Unless there is a constant output of new procedures that are used by other workstations, I doubt that obtaining the certificate would be worthwhile.

If you *really* want a certificate, thats trusted 'by default' you will not find anything else than the one you already have. But if you are content with a 'real' certificate thats ex- and importable to every PC and will be suitable in the future when, maybe, the users profile who created the code wiill be deleted then you might hav a look at 'selfcert' on the following site: http://www.abylonsoft.com/p_apm_self.htm Mit freundlichen Grüssen Thomas Ramel -- - MVP für Microsoft-Excel - [Win XP Pro SP-2 / xl2003 SP-2] Microsoft Excel - Die ExpertenTipps |
