Yes, you can purchase a certificate and pay annual fees if you have a
company (not as an individual).

It's not a great solution though. The user still gets the message every time
they open the database. And you have to resign the application any time you
make a change to any code, action query, etc. And there is also the issues
with Sandbox mode.

Setting it to low yields exactly the same results as all previous versions
of Access. Unless you are accepting databases from unknown people who could
have malicious intentions, this whole macro security thing is a non-issue
that MS is trying to pretend to be doing somehthing useful about. It's about
as useful as forcing people who wear seatbelts on bicycles.
