Default References to Other Workbooks Don't Stick

Ryan,

Will do. Thanks for your help.

I was not able to duplicate that issue. I opened a workbook, wrote a test
macro, then added the macro to the Quick Access Toolbar, saved the

workbook,
closed Excel, reopened the workbook and it stayed on the toolbar.

Since this is a new issue from your original post, I'd post this as a
separate question and maybe someone else has had the problem. I can't
duplicate it.

Hope this helps! If so, let me know, click "YES" below.

Thanks. That worked. I only had code in one of the workbooks.

But now I have a different problem. I've added my macros to the Quick
Access Toolbar, but these are not sticking either. They work fine when

I
first add them to the toolbar, but they disappear after closing and
re-opening the workbook. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

George

I was able to recreat the error. The issue happed when I didn't have

any
modules in both of the workbooks. If I had a module with some code in

both
workbooks then save both workbooks the references held. Try that.

I assume Excel automatically drops the reference if there isn't any

code
in
the workbook to reference. Kinda makes sense, but it would be nice to

warn
users before dropping the reference that you assign automatically

because
the
abscents of code.

Hope this helps! If so, let me know, click "YES" below.

Yes, I'm saving it. And if I do nothing else than to add the

reference
and
try to exit, it prompts me to save it, so that Excel "knows" that

the
file
has been changed.

Are you saving the workbook with the reference added to it? I

hope
so,
just
had to ask. Add the reference like you said in the VBE then

click
the
Save
button. Hope this helps! If so, let me know, click "YES" below.

Excel 2007 on Vista: When I add a reference (Visual Basic;
Tools/References)
to a workbook with VBA code, the macros become available and

executable.
When I try to exit from this workbook with the just-added

reference,
it
tells me the workbook has been modified and prompts me to save

it.
But
when
I open it back up, the reference is gone. The same process

worked
fine
on
my old system with Excel 2000.

What am I doing wrong?
