Can someone advise me on how to add a digital signature to an MS
Access database and add it to the system, so the file will be trusted
and not cause the warning that comes up when loading the file.

There seems to be some way of using the Visual Basic editor to do
this.

Thanks in advance for anyone that has any experience with this
and can give some suggestions.

Depending on whether you plan to distribute your app to others, your options
are:

1) Generate a certficate for your PC using selfcert (optionally installed
with Office)...the certificate would be valid on your PC only
2) Generate and install a certifcate on certificate server (if your company
is running one)...the certificate will be valid company wide
3) Purchase a certificate from Verisign or Thawte ($400)

Thanks, Paul. This is what I needed. I sign the file with my
signature. Then it's easy for me to install the signature as trusted
(of have the client do this). This eliminates the cry of wolf every
time the trusted file is loaded. I don't think it's good to make a
habit of ignoring warnings.

I just needed a way to deal with it. Before your message I had
to set the Macro Security to low. I can put it back to the default of
medium.
