XL97: How to Programmatically Create a Reference

set a reference manually and then query it for the file

? thisworkbook.VBProject.References("vbide").FULLPAT H
C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\VBA\VBEEXT1.OLB

FOR EXAMPLE

or try the GUID

? thisworkbook.VBProject.References("vbide").Guid
{0002E157-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
possibly.

This was from Excel 97, so try it in your version.

Thanks Tom for the lead. It does help in setting reference to a WorkBook
and from what I gleaned from the link, I tried the following line for
settting the reference to "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Extensibility 5.3" and came up with "Method VBE of object_Application
failed" error.

Set x = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject _
..References("Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Extensibility 5.3")

You need to use the name of the Extensibility project

Set x = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References("VBIDE" )

Chip,

I am a bit at sea here. I need the line of code to set the reference
to "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3"
programmatically and with the same effect as the manual approach ie the
requisite checkbox in the Reference dialogbox becomes ticked.
*Set x = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References("VBIDE" )* fails to
achieve that.

Myles.

I have had some visitation from Gurus Tom & Chip but am still not able
to get what I want. Namely, the code-quivalent of manually settting
VBE reference to "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility
5.3" or "SOLVER" for that matter.

Thanks for any help.


Myles
