self-signing certificate

just upgraded to access2003, and got the Jet4sp8 warning, which I should have
Jet4sp8, as I just went to office update.

Searched google, and saw that I can either set security to low, or do a
self-signing certificate if used with this computer. So, did the self-signing
certificate, added it to macro/Security/trusted publishers. I thought that would
take care of it, but, now, still get the warning. I had to actually set security
to low to avoid the warning. Went back to macro/Security/trusted publishers and
viewed my certificate. Looked ok until I looked at the "certification Path" tab,
and saw that my certificate had a red X on it, with this comment: This CA Root
certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification
Authorities store.

Is that why I still had to set security level to Low, because the certificate,
while there, isn't trusted?

btw, sandbox mode is set to 2 in registry, not sure whether to set it to 1 or 2
or does it make a difference if security is set to Low?

Seems to me that this is an example of "make it too difficult and people will
just bypass security", like "make password requirements too complex, therefore
people write them down and leave the note by the keyboard" kinda thing.

Thanks, Josh
