Can Excel recognize code I didn't write?
 

Created a file with some macros in it, tested it, then gave it to one of our
floor reps for day-to-day testing. File was fine, but back from lunch and she
reported that opening it now generates error message. Error message is:

"The macros in this file do not match the digital signature. Only a macro
virus would cause this. Please scan for viruses, and notify the publisher of
this document. Macros will be disabled."

The problem is gone since I removed two modules with extraneous, preliminary
code. But I'm curious as to the source. The project is digitally signed in my
name. Can Excel recognize code at a sub-project level? If so, I did copy some
code from 2007 posting to this NG into the spreadsheet, and it was on one of
the modules I removed. Could Excel really have recognized that as not
belonging to me?

If anyone can help understand, appreciate it.

That is the message that pops up because of the security settings on that
computer.
She will need to adjust her secutity level downward, probably low, to avoid
the message.
