Further to my previous post on the 10th, i have a few
questions/results to post,

i find it impossible to remove any reference without an
error coming up. I used the following code:

On Error Resume Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References
.Remove .Item("ProgressIndicator")
Debug.Print Err.Number
End With
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
On Error GoTo 0

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromFile
("c:\ProgressIndicator.dll")
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

So, in the first instance i delete the reference and then i
add it up again. Please note that in the current procedure
i do not use the dll, the dll is used from another procedure.

So, there are two cases one in which the dll is already
referenced and one in which it is not.

Suppose that it is referenced, then the code in deleteing
the reference comes up with "Can't enter break mode at this
time" and the options "continue" or "end only" are
possible. So i used debug.print err.number to get the error
number, which is zero!

If its not referenced then it goes smoothly through the
"deletion" routine (as there is nothing to delete) and
again comes up with "Can't enter break mode at this time"
"continue" or "end" options. Now, here the strangest thing
happens, i click on end and i have a look at the
references, and the code has added a reference to
"ProgressIndicator.dll" but not on "C:\" but rather on
"C:\windows\System32\". I really don't get and of course
the "ProgressIndicator.dll" does not reside on system32...

I am a bit perplexed, sorry for the big post,
Thanks a lot for your replies,
rgrds,
Alex
