Detect macros in an Excel file
I am using macros in one file to audit another file. The second file should
not have any macros. Is there a way I can detect this? |

Detect macros in an Excel file
Some information on dealing w/the VBProject on Chip's site:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/vbe.htm#ListAllInProject I've never had the need to deal w/the VBProject programmatically, but maybe this will give you a place to start.

Detect macros in an Excel file
I am not sure what you mean by "It compile in older versions " as the command
Debug.Print ActiveWorkbook.hasvbproject does not work in 2003. It is good to know that Microsoft have improved things as this would be a good portable solution.

Detect macros in an Excel file
Gleam,
If you put that command in a module in xl2003 and then did Debug = Compile VBAProject it does not raise an error. The error only occurs if the code attempts to execute the commend. I believe Ron is saying he has designed his code so that command isn't executed except in xl2007. So obviously it doesn't provide any functionality (you can't use it to check for code) in versions earlier than 2007. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

Define a function
Function wkbkHasMacros(fName$) As Boolean ' if Compile error: ' User-defined type not defined ' then VBE Tools - Reference, ' check Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3 Dim m As VBComponent ' if Run-time error '1004' ' Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted. ' then Excel Tools - Macro - Security, ' Click to enable "Trust access to Visual Basic Project" wkbkHasMacros = False For Each m In Workbooks(fName$).VBProject.VBComponents ' m.Type, 1=module, 2=Class, 3=Form, 100=Excel object If m.Type = 1 Then wkbkHasMacros = True Exit Function End If Next m End Function and call it with wkbkHasMacros(ActiveWorkbook.Name) Carl.

I get a compile error at this line: Dim m As VBComponent "user-defined type not defined." Do I need to activate a reference library? Some help on this would be appreciated as I have just searced help with "reference libraries" and found nothing helpful "Carl Hartness" wrote: Define a function Function wkbkHasMacros(fName$) As Boolean ' if Compile error: ' User-defined type not defined ' then VBE Tools - Reference, ' check Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3 Dim m As VBComponent ' if Run-time error '1004' ' Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted.
