Default Disable a macro that was working.

In my attempt to digitally sign it, The Sign As, gives me a choice of only
one certficate, which, "Windows does not have enough information to verify
this certificate.".
Are there other options available? Am I doing this correctly?

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks Sue.
I did try lowering the setting, and I thought that I did restart Outlook,
but I guess I didnt properly change the setting.
Thanks for the help.
Which is better though? Lowering the setting, or digitially signing?

I created a macro on Friday that would create an email to one person with the
click of a button. It worked fine. I tried it this morning, and its not. I
get a pop-up window saying "The macros in this project are disabled. Please
refer to the online help or documentation of the host application to
determine how to disable macros."
I deleted it, and tried a new one, and it still gives me the error message.

The macro is simple, and I can type it in if anybody thinks they can help.

Thanks,
Michael

Yes, you're doing that correctly. Did you read up on Selfcert.exe? As a self-generated certificate, it has no chain of trust from a certificate authority.

Sorry, no, I missed the Seflcert.exe. Well, I actually skipped it. Whoops.
Okay, I did create my own certificate, and now to enable trust, I need to
"install this certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities
Store"?
Am I still doing this correctly?

Yes, that should be covered in the KB article that has instructions.

Hey Sue.
I read it all, and I think I got it to work properly. I closed Outlook,
opened it up, ran the macro, and no problems.
Thanks so much for your help!

Sue,

I have the same problem as Mikael: I created a macro last week, it worked
fine and now it doesn't. I get the same error message.
i tried the steps that were discribed below (creating certificate, adding it
to the trusted root..., signing, ) but it still does not work.
Is there something else that can be the problem?
Kind regards,Tim

Problem is solved.
I found the suggestion in another thread to not just close outlook, but to
restart windows. That worked for me.
Thanks.

Shutting down Outlook.exe in the Task Manager, then restarting OUtlook, would probably also have worked.
