(this was previously posted on thee wrong section. I apologize)
Hello,
I have a project on which I'm working on.
I released it for testing after having digitally signed with a self-signed
certificate.
Now... everythign as worked well..on my pc and on the one were the
application was tested.
Now I need to make few changes and I have done it on ANOTHER pc (not the one
where I create the certificate) and it seems my project is not signed any
more.
I know that by modifing the code the signature will be discharged. But when
I try to re-sign the project it says that there was a problem with my
certificate and it will be discharged.
I have to say that I have installed the certificate also on this pc. And
when I do tools>digital signature I can see it proposes to use my
certificate. I select it... it says the project is now signed with this
certificate...but then discharges it.
What should I do? I have also tried to delete the certificate from IE but I
can still see it if I go through the procedure to digitally sign my project.
Is there a way to remove my project from refer to this certificate? maybe I
can create another one. Any help will be greatly appreciate.

Try the following: (1) Remove the digital signature; (2) Use File-New to
create a new blank database and import everything from the problem database
into it; (3) Rename them so the new database has the correct name. (4)
Re-establish all References and get a good compile; (5) Try to establish the
Digital Certificate in the new database. (When Importing, use Options to
make sure you are importing Relationships, Menus & Toolbars, etc. as needed.
Also, don't forget review security settings in the new database.)

I find importing everything into a new blank database often yields a more
healthy database.
