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?

Below is a response I received from another board. Can anyone give me
directions on how I would create the Digital Certificate with MS Win
2003 SBS?

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."
