    Code Sign PW Protected Project?

    Hi,

    I find I can code sign a password protected and unsigned
    project with my certificate in the VBE even though I don't
    provide the password to open the project's code. This
    seems odd to me. Is the code signing process intended to
    allow this?

    Best Regards,
    Walt

    Code Sign PW Protected Project?

    Hi,

    Well, in case anyone else was wondering about this, I
    found the answer:

    "Note Locking your VBA project doesn't prevent another
    user from replacing the digital signature with another
    signature. This is allowed so that a system administrator
    or end user can replace a current signature with an
    approved signature or re-sign a document after a previous
    signature expires. "
