Publishing

[Emma]

I was wondering about Publishing an application does this make it trusted and
if so do I not have to add the path to the trusted locations section on each
computer?

From the help file:
By default, Microsoft Office Access 2007 disables a number of database
objects unless you apply a digital signature to them or you place the
database in a trusted location.

If you want to avoid the security problems, you must create the trusted
location on each computer. You must install or copy the database app to that
location..

So publishing doesn't make the app trusted?

When and why would I publish the application?

As far as I am aware, publishing is something done to a web server. If you
are using SharePoint, you'd publish your data. Or, in versions older than
Access 2007 you could publish Data Access Pages to a web server.

Or you can buy a code-signing certificate from one of the top-level
certification organizations, like Thawte, and sign the VBA code. I think
Thawte's price is about $200/year for a cert which can sign as many
databases as you want. The user probably still has to (once) click OK
somewhere indicating that they are willing to trust the certificate.

I'm not sure how digital signatures work? do I have to apply one to each
object or the whole database?
