Big News! You can now sign Access VBA files! #513

Huge news: (this may be old news to others...)

Apparently in the latest builds you can sign Access VBA environments!

This makes things quite interesting!

I don't know if anyone has tried, but it would be REAL cool if the build environment could build a database, sign it (with a stored cert), then deploy. This is a missing piece of trust we've been wanting for a while, this is so cool.

Microsoft Show trust by adding a digital signature

Yes and there's a great and very thorough guide to it by Colin Riddington here: https://isladogs.co.uk/vba-project-signing.
