Hi John,
Check the Microsoft Access help topic "Digital Signature" for details.
Here are some steps you can follow:
To add a Digital Signature to an application, follow these steps:
Start Access 2003 and open the database you are using for your run-time
application.
On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Visual Basic Editor.
In the Project Explorer, select the project you want to sign.
On the Tools menu, click Digital Signature.
In the Digital Signature dialog box, click Choose.
In the Select Certificate dialog box, select one of the available
certificates, and then click OK.
In the Digital Signature dialog box, click OK.
Close the Visual Basic Editor and then close Access.
To trust the Digital Signature, if it is not automatically trusted, follow
these steps:
Start Access 2003 and open the database you are using for your run-time
application.
If you are prompted with the dialog box "Security Warning: Unsafe
expressions are not blocked", click Yes.
In the next Security Warning dialog, click Details.
In the Digital Signature Details dialog box, click View Certificate.
In the Certificate dialog box, click the Certification Path tab.
Select the Certification path that has the Red X, click View Certificate.
In the Certificate dialog box, click Install Certificate.
In the Certificate Import Wizard, click Next.
Leave the option to Automatically select the certificate store based on the
type of certificate.
Click Next.
Click Finish.
Click Yes when prompted to add the certificate to the Root Store.
Click OK four times until you are back at the Security Warning dialog box.
Click Cancel or Open in the Security Warning dialog box.
The next time you open the database, you will have the option to "Always
trust files from this publisher and open them automatically".
I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
