Hi! Thanks for all of your help so far... my macros are finally finished and debugged, however when I took the file to one of my clients to test it on their system, they were unable to run the macros with their present security levels. I have 65 clients and would like to know the best way to digitally sign this file so their are no problems.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK

If by sign do you mean protect your macros,

Why not In VBE
Right Click Modules
VBAProject Properties
Protection Tab
lock Project for Viewing
and Password Protect.

Appologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs.

You can either sef sign the workbook using
selfcert.exe (do a search for this file)
When the user opens up your file they'll be
prompted with the trust and your certificate
name....
The users can always select the option to
Always Trust from....and select your Cert.

OR get one from a firm like Verasign.
You'll have to pay. Seach msoft for there
recommendations on this.

password protecting the might be a good idea, but I'm trying to digitally "sign" or "certify" the file so computers set on high security will allow the macros to run.
