Hello,
I have a mainly VBA Excel/Word app I am commercially going to market and
distribute. Can anyone tell me if digital certificates for the macros are
necessary or simply advisable to assure authenticity and avoid the irksome
macro pop-up query? Or is there any other way to achieve the same? Was
thinking I saw that if you put the macros in the XLStartup folder or somesuch
it would give the macros a pass. Does anyone know if something like that is
possible/ workable and appropriate vs inappropriate (eg infringing on
client's security)?
Thanks, God bless

Save and distribute as an Add-in

These are exempt from macro security.

If for commercial use you may think about creating a com add-in in VB6
