Below is a response I received from another board. Can anyone give me
directions on how I would create the Digital Certificate with MS Win
2003 SBS?
Thanks,
Jason
"As I understand it, yes, but the certificate is valid only within the
domain
in which it was created - all users using the certificate must be logged on
to the same domain. I also believe that users will have to choose to trust
the certificate before you can set the security level to high - I see that
the dialog box says 'only signed macros from trusted sources' will be
allowed to run.
You would probably get a more detailed answer in a Windows Server
newsgroup."

I am following your instructions and they are pretty much right on.
However when I try and create the "Code Signing Certificate" it is not
in my list to choose from. When I look at the Issued Certificates list
the following two are listed.
-Domain Controller Certificate
-User Certificate
When I open follow the instructions to open Access Database and goto the
Visual Basic Editor. Then to tools, digital signature and choose your
code signing certificate, there are none in the list to choose from.
I am having a hard time figuring out where I have gone wrong.
I appreciate all the help,
Jason
