MS Office Forum / Excel / Programming / March 2008Work-around for blocking of invalid certificates Excel 2007
I have received a workbook with macros in it. I trust the sender and the workbook is signed with a digital signature. However, I receive a security alert informing me that the macros have been disabled because the signature is invalid and cannot be trusted because the issue of the certificate cannot be found. Despite installing the certificate and adding the document to my trusted folders, I cannot run the macros in this workbook. Any inpout would be greatly appreciated.

That is of course obvious but it degrades my security significatly when I only want to be able to get this single workbook to work. I want to be able to selectively override the mechanism that is blocking the use of an invalid digital certificate. > Check you Macro security setting Tools > Macro > Security > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > > Any inpout would be greatly appreciated. Do the macros work despite the certificate mess when the security level is set to medium? You have to approve macros at this level, whereas at high, you generally will not be asked to approve macros. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ > That is of course obvious but it degrades my security significatly when I > only want to be able to get this single workbook to work.

The only way I get this to work is by setting the Macro Setting of "Enable all macros". I am prevented from approving this macro with the setting "Disable all macros except digitall signed macros" enabled. I realize ultimately the problem exists with the certificate but I could more easily part the Red Sea then get this vendor to correct their certificate so I was hoping there would be a work around for the blocking of workbooks with invalid certificates. -Jason > Do the macros work despite the certificate mess when the security level is > set to medium?

If you open this file with or without macros enabled and then save it, doesn't this remove the certificate? And if it does, can you then go back to medium security for all files? A one time hassle every time you get a new file but...  SignatureJim | Hi Jon, | [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] | > >> > | > >> > Any inpout would be greatly appreciated. Isn't there an in-between setting? (I have no practical experience with certificates.) - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ > Hi Jon, > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] >> >> > >> >> > Any inpout would be greatly appreciated. |
