Access 2003 Digital Certificate form CA Problem

[Dedge]

I am trying to apply a certificate we purchased from COMODO to an Access 2003
database on XP Pro.

Access was able to find the certificate. Viewing details showed valid dates.
Certificate status is OK.

When I try to create an MDE, I receive the message: "There was a problem
with the digital certificate. The VBA project could not be signed." The
signature is removed.

TIA

I had a similar problem with my Comodo cert, this article from Thwate solved it for me:

Thanks Scott.

I think we're on the right track, but pvkimprt does not support the -IMPORT
option. I tried using an similar available option; pvkimprt ran, but issued a
rather misleading installation message. Access will still not accept the
signiture.

Are you sure you've got the correct version of pvkImprt (mine is 5.1.26001, as reported from a command prompt)?

When I run pvkimprt from the command line with the help parameter:

pvkimprt /?

my machine shows 4 options:

Import
PFX
RSA
DSS

Are you sure that you installed PVKImprt correctly? You must (a) download the file, (b) extract the archive (it's a
self-extracting archive), and then (c) run the pwkimpt.exe file from that archive to install it ... IIRC, I did the same
thing - I downloaded the file and then extracted it, but did NOT run the file that was extracted and instead tried to
just use that file for the import/export. Finally I just double-clicked the extracted file and the installation program
started ... I installed it and all worked as planned.
