Hi Rocky

Don't know about A2007 but if you wish to digitally sign your A2003 code, here is how:

If selfcertification is not enough, you can obtain a free certificate here at CAcert:

Piece of cake.

Wait a minute...

Where do I sign?

And what is this "certificate" of which you speak?

I think that you have to sign your code using a certificate.

Dear List:
 
I am developing a legal app for my client which he is going to make into a
commercial product.  He has his first beta test site.  Beta site is using
Access 2007 on a Vista machine.  My client uses A2K7 on an XP machine and
runs Access 2007 with Vista (SP1) on his home machine, although I am
developing the app in 2003.  The app works on both of client's machines.
 
On Beta's machine when he tries to start the app he gets a message that the
app is being blocked on his computer because it comes from another
potentially unsafe computer.  He clicks unblock but still gets the same
thing.  I don't know if this is coming from Access or Vista, but I suspect
Vista.
 
My client suggested to beta that he load SP1 for Vista and Beta responded
that he did install SP1 and it screwed up his scanner but didn't help with
getting the Access app started.
 
So client sent this procedure to Beta:
 
1) Open Access 2007 and click Options.
2) Go to Trust Center and click Trust Center Settings
3) On macro settings make sure Enable all macros is selected and click OK.
 
Beta responds that after this he still has the problem.  
 
I think this message may be coming from Vista. Is anyone familiar with this
situation and have a solution?
 
MTIA,
 

Rocky Smolin
