Can I get Microsoft Certificate Server to create a Digital Signature
that I can use for Access 2003.

Right now we have to have security set to Low in Access in order to use
it properly. We would like to set up a Digital Signature so we can
raise that security level to High. I have heard that Windows Server
2003 has the ability to "create" a digital Signature that can be used
for this purpose?

If anyone can help out with this, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jason
 
As I understand it, yes, but the certificate is valid only within the domain
in which it was created - all users using the certificate must be logged on
to the same domain. I also believe that users will have to choose to trust
the certificate before you can set the security level to high - I see that
the dialog box says 'only signed macros from trusted sources' will be
allowed to run.

You would probably get a more detailed answer in a Windows Server newsgroup.

from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
