[AccessD] Project is unviewable

Don't feel like the lone ranger. At the Vegas development conference last
week the Microsoft speakers all but conceded that no one seems to have
figured out or use digital sigs. :-(

Never mind.  There is something about pressing the send key that magically
makes workarounds work.  Actually it appears that I had to hold down the
shift key as I was opening the aforementioned database to do this stuff.  It
MAY have something to do with the fact that when I do that I am not looking
at my framework code when I perform this "unlocking" rigamerole hooey. 

At any rate, I have my code back and will NOT attempt to sign my databases
anymore, as it appears to hose them if signed in 2003 and opened in XP?  Or
not.  Who can really say what causes anything anymore?

Has anyone ever gotten this?

I was trying to get rid of the 2003 crap that forces you to answer THREE
questions correctly before it allows you to open an Access database.  In the
process I created a digital signature and applied it to the database.  Not
sure exactly what went wrong but now "the project is unviewable" which means
NO CODE CAN BE SEEN!!!

I googled the error message and is appears (though not directly stated) that
this is a known bug with a workaround... which doesn't work around it.

Has anyone ever successfully recovered your code from this specific piece of
hell that MS is subjecting me to?
