    Hello jimmy@9830,

    Have a look at this link. It will walk you through the process of both importing and exporting a certificate for a VBA project.

    Create a Digital Signature

    I think you will find that you need a commercial certificate, not the self certs. Self certs can be used on your own PC or maybe a company network.
    Hope that helps.
