How to creating certificate for the compagny only
He
We use office XP and plan to update to office 2003. It runs on XP pro workstations and Win 2000 servers. I have created a self-cert and I can test our templates with the securety set to high in excel 2003. But no other in our organisation can use my cert. ? Is it possible for the adminstrator to create a "self" certificate to use all over our compagny only, and then place it on the server? And if yse: How? Sorry not only an Excel-question, but I hope that someone can help. Thanks Callevib |

How to creating certificate for the compagny only
Hi Callevib
In theory it's possible to export a signature and import it on another machine, by using Internet Explorer. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...ty/o2ksec.mspx on this. I believe you'll have to do that operation on each individual Pc. I say "in theory" because I tried it once (only) from my old to my new pc, and after that nothing related worked at all, not signing, not selfcert. I had to reinstall the whole system and create a brand new signature. Maybe that was only bad luck though, but test first carefully on two non-critical machines. HTH.

That's 'normal' for certificates created with selfcert - they are mainly to avoid the macro able/disable dialog for spreadsheets you created yourself. Is it possible for the adminstrator to create a "self" certificate to use all over our compagny only, and then place it on the server? And if yse: How? Maybe the following is a possibility (beside payable certificates from ie VeriSign): http://www.abylonsoft.com/produkt_ue...ht.htm#subSelf -- Regards Thomas Ramel - MVP for Microsoft-Excel - [Win XP Pro SP-1 / xl2000 SP-3] |

How to creating certificate for the compagny only
Callevib,
I have generally been able export/import these self certs without too much difficulty. However, if the project is signed, then edited, by someone else, I have experienced problems that seems inconsistent. NickHK "Harald Staff" wrote in message ...

... I have generally been able export/import these self certs without too much difficulty. Glad to hear that. However, if the project is signed, then edited, by someone else, I have experienced problems that seems inconsistent. Not glad to hear that. Seems that these things are depending on luck or on mysterious environmental conditions. Well, most things in life probably are... Best wishes Harald |
