Microsoft Pvkimprt

Microsoft Pvkimprt is a handy tool that helps you sign your Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code in your Microsoft Office 2000 programs. You can do this easily by using an authenticated digital certificate!

Understanding Digital Certificates

So, what’s a digital certificate? Well, it’s like an online ID. Some certification authorities, like Verisign and Thawte, offer these certificates for code signing. They help verify that the code comes from a trusted source. These authorities often use the PVK file format to keep the private key of the digital certificate safe and secure.

The Files You Need

Your digital certificate has two parts: the public part is saved in an SPC file, while the private part is stored in a PVK file. If you’ve got a Verisign Class 3 certificate or a Thawte Developer Certificate, you usually receive these as a pair of SPC and PVK files.

Importing Your Certificate

If you want to use your SPC and PVK digital certificate in any VBA-enabled applications, you'll need to import them into your personal certificate store using the PVK Digital Certificate Files Importer. This process is pretty straightforward!
