How to check "Always trust macros from this published" when securityis set to high?
Hi,
I have created a custom cert in Office 2003 and attached it to VBA code. On the computer (Office 2003) which create this cert, when excel security is set to high, I was able to check "Always trust macros from this published" and thus enable the macro. Then I copy the same file to another computer, the security is also set the high, but this time the "Always trust macros from this published" is not checked. (grey out). How to check this box? Thanks Nick |

Nick,
Please tell me how you created your cert. Up to now I've been paying Verisign a healthy sum to do it. Regarding your issue, I don't know. Perhaps if you teach me how to create the cert, we can solve the problem together. Regards, Jim Kobzeff "Nick" wrote in message ...

Self-certs are for use on one computer only. See Help on Certificates. If you make it a "trusted certificate" through MMC and export the *.cer file to the other computer, you will be able to use it.

The cert is created by selfcert.exe, under the Office root folder
This is not install by the default installation, you need add it manually. (add/remove program -Office -Change Installation - Digital Sig. for VBA ) something like that.

Hi,
I got your point. But is there any fast method for deploying these "trusted cert" on other computers? Thanks! Nick Gord Dibben wrote: Nick Self-certs are for use on one computer only.

Hi Nick,
I have created a custom cert in Office 2003 and attached it to VBA code. On the computer (Office 2003) which create this cert, when excel security is set to high, I was able to check "Always trust macros from this published" and thus enable the macro.

In general, certificates created using selfcert are not trustable on other machines. If this is only one or two machines, you might be able to export the selfcert certificate using Start Settings Control Panel Internet Options Content Certificates and import it on the other machine, but I've never tried it. If you want to have a fully-trustable certificate, you'll need to buy one, eg from www.thawte.com Regards Stephen Bullen Microsoft MVP - Excel www.BMSLtd.ie |
