Cannot get Smart Card/CAC digital certificate information into a string (no need to use it at this point, just "see/view" it.)
I'm developing in MS Access (VBA) and trying to capture Smart Card (CAC/PKI) certificate information using VBA. I simply need Friendly Name or Subject for each certificate, as I can see in ActivClient user console - the program I use to manage certificates. I know MS Access uses the same certificate to add Digital Signature to a database, and in the certificate selection utility, the fields that have the information I need are Subject and Friendly Name (the same as in ActivClient user console).
I've looked around and keep finding X509 store information, but it's based on .NET and C# code, which I do not know how to use in MS Access. I cannot make a dll from that code, as I am not running Visual Studio or any other programming applications. Also, the X509 Store is not in any library reference, so I cannot create an object and use it in VBA.
Does anyone know how to get or read certificate information - using VBA and any readily available references? BTW, the references I've tried loading were as follows, but I couldn't make any headway with them.

Thanks for any help/guidance!
