Create digitally signed MDE files in Access 2007

[chris]

How do we create MDE files in Access 2007 ?

I tried to follow the procedure I was using in other office versions.

1. I installed the Verisign certificate (with private key).
2. Signed the MDB from VBA.
3. Create the MDE.

When I try to open the signed MDE, even on the developement machine with
Verisign certificate (with private key), not only on test machine, I get the
following warning: It is not possible to determine that this content came
from a trustworthy source. You should leave this content disabled unless the
content provides critical functionality and you trust its source.

this secuirty notice does not give me the option for trusting my certificate
as a trusted publisher.

Access macro security is "disable all macros with notification".

Am I doing sth wrong in signing it ?

Chris,

Did you set the several options in the "Trustcenter"
Under the trusted locations at the bottom of the screen have you 'checked'
"Disable all trusted locations". "Only files signed by Trusted publishers
will be trusted"?

I'm assuming you know where the trusted locations can be found but just in
case (under Officebutton - Access Options)

Thanks a lot, Maurice for your message.

I selected "Disable all trusted locations. Only files signed by Trusted
publishers
will be trusted" but the problem is still the same. Singed MDB is ok, signed
MDE is not ok. Is signed certificate been removed from MDE files ?

My signed MDE's open (without certificate been checked) when I add my
program's directory in trusted locations.
