Hey all,

I haven't had a lot of experience with VBA (Excel), but I think I have done enough research, so now I'm coming here for assistance.

I need my VBA macro to use a keystore, so I was going to use System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.Import. My issue is however, I cannot add a reference to System.Security.dll in my macro. I get the generic "Cannot add reference to file", and a google search gets results for custom dll files, but this is a .NET library, so I don't know why there would be an issue.

Other libraries, e.g. System are listed as available,

Thanks for any assistance.

VB6, to the best of my knowledge.... is NOT .NET friendly. That said, have you tried putting a declaration to it (just like an API call)?

Yeah, I was thinking there would be some VB vs .NET issues. I tried importing the namespace, but it doesn't like it too much.

I found a different library which I could use, thanks.
