    I have a secure multi-user Access 2003 database running on WinXP.
    For all of the tables, only the Administrator has access.
    For the queries, different groups are assigned different permissions.
    The Security Level is set to Medium.
    I didn't like the security warning when opening the database so I added a
    Digital Signature using selfcert.exe.

    This works fine when I open up the database as the administrator, no dialog
    box appears anymore.

    However when I login as a different MS Access user on the same computer, one
    of the users belonging to another group I get an
    error message that says "Microsoft Office cannot open mydatabasename.mdb due
    to security restrictions. Security settings restrict access to the file
    because it is not digitally signed."

    Ironic isn't it? It only started to create this message after I DID give it
    a Digital Signature!

    Anybody have an idea how to solve this?? Thanks

    Mark
