Evening all,

I posted on this a little while ago as an exploratory toe-in-the -water, now I'm doing more research and trying to find out about this.
Basically, my app involves running VBA macros in Office by so clearly I need to be able to allow the user to keep the security settings on High. I have done some investigating and found this link to Verisign which seems to be offering a signature for $400. The question is, is that really what I want? Because I'm doing this off my own back (cf RobDog's current troubles) and I'm loathe to part with that kind of money unless I'm sure that it will do what I want. Is this Dig Sig a general "this guy is OK" certification, so that I can use it to sign many macros in all forms of Office, or can I only use it once? If I change my macro, can I resign it or does it have to go back to Verisign? How long does it last? Will it work if I sign a template and bung it in the Startup folder, or does it only work on a per document basis. I'm going to want to sign templates.

And then, is this avoidable using VS Tools for Office? That's even more pricey, and again I don't necessarily mind paying but I'd like it to do what I want. I'll probably get round to getting VS Tools at some point, cos I plan to do some more app development for Office but it's whether or not to get it now. Also, I'd have to rewrite all my VBA...

Any suggestions / sharing of previous experiences with this much appreciated

Cheers
