Macro security adn Digital Cert question

K

Kim K

I have purchased a code signing certificate from Thawte. I have digitally
signed my forms that contain macros - forms are for distribution. When I set
my macro security setting in word 07 to disabled except digitally signed
macros, I still can not open my form with the macro even tho the forms has
the thawte cert. What is going on?

Do you encounter an error message when you try to open a form containing
macros? If so, what is it?

Also, where is the form located? Is it in your User Templates folder?

yes I get the error message "The macros in this project are disabled. Please
refer to the online help or documentation of the host application to
determine how to enable macros."

The forms will be for distribution and not on any one server - they will be
availlalbe via email and via download via web.

Hmmmm....how/where did you attach your digital signature? Was it in the
Visual Basic Editor using Tools/Digital Signature? If not that's where you
need to sign macros. The other method, Office Button/Prepare/Add Digital
Signature is for authenticating documents and not code.
