Question

Hello guys, how to create a digital signature for Outlook Macro?

I created a self signed certificate using makecert and I imported to the Trusted Root Certificate using MMC.

But if I tried to add a digital signature, it shows "No usable signing certificates are available.".

How to create a certificate for this purposes?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Franklin, I created a self-signed cert. It works beautifully on my PC.

But if I tried it on other PCs, it's not recognized even though I import it as "Trusted Cert".

If need to purchase a cert, is Symantec VBA cert a good option?

Or any vendor recommendation for macro digital cert?
