Remove reference from code
 

My VBA project has a reference to an xla - lets call it external.xla. Not all
users of my VBA project has this xla installed. Is there any way to check the
existence of the xla from my code when the VBA project is opened. If it exist
it is placed in the folder C:\xlaStore.

If the xla does not exist I would like to remove the reference or perhaps
just ignore it in some way.

Thanks
