I have a project that is Digitally signed with a self certificate. When I install the XLS file on another computer and select "Trust" the file opens and closes fine. The problem is if the new computer makes changes and saves it discardes the certificate, but no changes were made to the Project only the file. I have had this work properly on other projects but this one is giving me some trouble. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thanks.

Looks like I have to SelfCert on each machine.
???

SelfCert is not really for distribution use either public or private. When a project is modified it does require to be re-signed.
Thanks RD!
Do small companies usually SelfCert at each machine or get a 3rd party certificate?
What is a good 3rd party source ... one of the MS listed sources?
Thanks again.

If you only have a few users to support internally then you can get away with selfcert but for large number of users or for public distribution I would greatly suggest using 3rd party certs ONLY!
Verisign is the industry standard but they cost a decent penney. Actually they are the only ones I know or but I'm sure a google search would bring up others but you get what you pay for. ;)
Also, did you install the cert in the Trusted store on each system? I have a thread on digital certs in CodeBank, fyi. ;)
Thanks again RD888!! :thumb:
I was just looking at that info in the codebank
I will give it a try in the AM!
