Digital Certs

I developed an MSAccess 2003 to be used internally within our company. I used
"Digital Certificate for VBA Projects" in Microsoft Office Tools to create
and sign my project.

This scenario has worked fine for many years using computers running WinXP
Pro. On each workstation I launch IE, go to Tools > Internet Options >
Content and import the digital cert. When I launch my app on that workstation
I have to mark the ALWAYS TRUST box once and it never asks me again.

I just added a Windows 7 workstation to the mix and it does not work the
same. I followed the same procedure to import the digital cert but when I
launch my app a messgae displays asking me to "Please Insert a Smart Card".

I don't know why this comes up. Also the checkbox to mark "Always Trust" in
the Security Warning box is grayed and I cannot mark it.

Can anyone tell me why is Windows 7 behaving differently than WinXP did?

Thank you, Herb

Are you logged in with administrative privileges?

Hi,
This is probably related to permission or IE 8.0 compatibility issue. For
Windows 7, it inherits the security design from Vista. By default, the
logon user is a standard user with no real administrator permissions.

Please check what the result is if you try the following:
1. Open your IE with "Run as Administrator" and import the certificate.
2. Run your application with "Run as administrator"

Best regards,
Charles Wang
