How to setup a Trusted Source

[Mike Miller]

I've written a simple macro in Outlook 2003 to
automatically send email. It works fine, but the first
time I run it after opening Outlook, I get the "do you
want to enable/disable macros" dialog. I assume this is
because I have Macro Security set to Medium - "you can
chose whether or not to run macros." Based on the
description of the "Low" security setting, I probably
wouldn't get that dialog, but it also seems I would be
opening myself up to potential problems. If I set the
security level to "High" it sounds like that dialog would
not be displayed, but how do I set my own macro up as
a "trusted source"?

You can run the selfcert.exe tool that comes with Office 2003 (you may need
to rerun setup to install it) to create a local certificate, then use that
to sign th eproject. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/vb.htm#selfcert
