XP Pro up to date


using (from START>RUN) certmgr.msc I found a certificate that I would like to
install it in "the trusted Root Certification Authorities store".

I can see the certificate in the Personal folder but its "certification path" indicates
that it is "Not Trusted."

Do I have to delete it and start over? modify it?

The certificate was to authorize my personal Macros in Excel. That said, I do
not believe it is an Excel issue (creating, modifying, installing certificates)

I have no clue how to:
1) create a personal certificate and/or
2) install it in the trusted Root Certification Authorities store and/or
3) make sure that the "certificate path" is OK (in short authorized and OK)

Please help!

Where do you get your own security certificates?
Security certificates are issued by independent certification
authorities. There are different classes of security certificates,
each one providing a different level of credibility. You can obtain
your personal security certificate from certification authorities

Internet Options Content Certificates.

It was my understanding that one could create a "personal" certificate for Excel Macros that one
creates. I did that, and the certificate was put into the Personal Certificates folder of
"certmgr.msc".

That said, the Certification Path indicates that it is "not trusted."

Further the information provided states the to be Trusted that I must:

install it in "the trusted Root Certification Authorities store".

Gord,

I was not able to continue the mmc process mentioned past *********** above.
That said, I would like to know what I did wrong.

I did open (via Start>Run) certmgr.msc

In that utility, I was able to drag my certificate to
the "Trusted" folder and it is now "Trusted" when I look at the "Certificate path"

Thanks Gord (if you have the time what did I do wrong with mmc?)
