Thank you so much for this posting. I saved a ton of money by buying my certificate through tucows, and it was really helpful having a walk-through guide on the process.

Microsoft advised back in 2006 that XLM4 could be removed in future versions of Excel. As you are now developing your solution in Excel 2007, it makes sense to follow Microsoft’s advice and use only VBA, which can accomplish all the tasks XLM4 can address. I know that may be time-consuming and require reprogramming solutions you have long been using, but I would not bank on XLM4 being supported for too much longer.

While on the topic of the security warning dialogs, I should also note: A code-signing certificate doesn’t prevent security warning dialog boxes from appearing, in and of itself. The code-signing cert only identifies, in those dialogs, that the code originates from you, and provides the option for the user to implicitly trust your signed code. The user will continue to get the security warning from your document until he checks the box to always trust software from you. If the user does that, the security warnings will disappear — unless your code is later modified, or your certificate expires and you didn’t timestamp your signature.

I have a similar problem. I have also contacted Comodo on this. I used both Excel4.macro language and VBA to automate a small program that i developed for a client in Excel 2007.

Please, can Comodo code signing certificate auto-enable/stop a pop-up security alerts that always comes up to enable macros in excel 2007?

My problem is that i dont know whether code signing certificate can digitally sign Excel4. macro language and VBA at once.

MY ISSUES
I developed a small package for a client with Microsoft Excel 2007 to handle their stock details. I used both Microsoft Visual Basic for Application (VBA)and Microsoft Excel 4.0 macros to automate its processes.

My client is tired of seeing “Security Warning -some active contents have been disable” at any time the file is launched with Ms excel 2007.

1. I need to eliminate this Security Warning that keeps poping-up everytime
2. I want the excel program to auto-enable macros

I will appreciate your quick reply on this issue.

Thank you,
