Hi gmayor,

Thanks for the info. I did look in Tools before and totally missed the Digital Sig option! I'll let you know how things work out.

But a curiosity question if you don't mind. Is it correct that now the original macro won't work because its not signed even though it worked when I first entered it. If it needs to be signed to work then why did it work at all when I first entered it? Also does it then mean that if a OL user writes a simple macro using a few lines of code then he has to go through the confusing process to create a signed certificate and assign the macro code to it to get it to run. I realize this is to prevent bad macros from running but it seems to put a large burden on a casual user who just wants to automate a procedure that he may use often.

Thanks again,
Gerry
