Default Reference
I woud like a macro to set a library reference. I know how to do it by going
into VBA and selecting Tools\References and selecting the appropriate library
reference. However, I would like to establish code to perform this
operation. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

This will set a reference to ADO:

Sub AddADO()

Dim r

For Each r In ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References
If r.GUID = "{00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}" And r.Major = 2
Then
Exit Sub
End If
Next

On Error GoTo NOTFOUND

'although usually the ADO version will be higher, doing Minor:=0 will
install
'the higher version if available. On the other hand when you specify
Minor:=5
'and only a lower version is available, this can't be installed
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromGuid _
GUID:="{00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}", _
Major:=2, Minor:=0
Exit Sub

NOTFOUND:
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub


To get the needed values to set this code up use this code, which will get
you the above values of installed libraries:

Sub GetLibraryGUID()

Dim c As Byte
Dim myCheck As Long
Dim P As Boolean
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Byte

c = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.Count

On Error Resume Next
Dim Message, Title, Default, T As Single
Message = "NUMBER ?" & Chr(13) & "________"
Title = " GET REFERENCES GUID ( 1 TO " & c & " )"
Default = c
T = InputBox(Message, Title, Default, 3500, 3500)

If Not T Mod 1 = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If

If T < 1 Or T c Then
Exit Sub
End If

MsgBox "REFERENCE ( " & T & " ) NAME : " & _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References(T).Name & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"MAJOR : " & _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.Item(T).Major & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "MINOR : " & _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.Item(T).Minor & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"GUID ( " & T & " ) : " & _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.Item(T).GUID, , _
" REFERENCES GUID : ITEM " & T

myCheck = MsgBox(" PUT INFORMATION IN SHEET ?", _
vbYesNo, " GetLibraryGUID")

If myCheck = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
End If

If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents = True Then
P = True
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Else
P = False
End If

Range(Cells(ActiveCell.Row, ActiveCell.Column), _
Cells(ActiveCell.Row + 3, ActiveCell.Column + 1)).Select

For Each rng In Selection.Cells
If Not IsEmpty(rng) Then
i = i + 1
End If
Next

If i 0 Then
myCheck = MsgBox(" OVERWRITE DATA IN THIS RANGE ?", _
vbYesNo, " GetLibraryGUID")
If myCheck = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
End If
End If

On Error Resume Next
ActiveCell.Value = "NAME :"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value = "MAJOR :"
ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Value = "MINOR :"
ActiveCell.Offset(3, 0).Value = "GUID :"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References(T).Name
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Value = _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.Item(T).Major
ActiveCell.Offset(2, 1).Value = _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.Item(T).Minor
ActiveCell.Offset(3, 1).Value = _
ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.Item(T).GUID

If P = True Then
ActiveSheet.Protect
End If

End Sub

This works great. It appears your knowledge is much greater than mine. So,
will you help me with the actual reference I am trying to use - the Microsoft
Outlook (I'm using 9.0) Object Library? Many thanks!

He showed you in his second subroutine of GETGUIID or named similar. That
function should give you the long piece of data that refers to the object
library you want. Now I haven't run it, but it looks like an excellent
utility if everything functions as written.

Hope these are correct for all versions to add "latest" version -

Function AddOfficeRef(wb As Workbook, sApp As String)
Dim ref As Object
Dim refs As Object
Dim sID As String

On Error Resume Next
Set refs = wb.VBProject.References

If refs Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "need to change security settings"
Exit Function
End If

On Error GoTo 0

sApp = UCase(sApp)

Select Case sApp
Case "WORD"
sID = "{00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
Case "OUTLOOK"
sID = "{00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
Case "ACCESS"
sID = "{4AFFC9A0-5F99-101B-AF4E-00AA003F0F07}"
Case Else
MsgBox sApp & " not known"
End Select

If Len(sID) = 0 Then Exit Function

For Each ref In refs
If ref.GUID = sID Then
Exit Function
End If
Next

On Error GoTo errH

refs.AddFromGuid sID, 0, 0

Exit Function
errH:
MsgBox "Error setting ref to " & sApp
End Function

Sub test()

AddOfficeRef ThisWorkbook, "Outlook"
End Sub
