GUID of the Reference

A

Anson

I am trying to write a macro to add a VB Project reference. By using

NewWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddfromGuid("Guid","Major","Minor")

Now how can I find the the GUID, major and minor of the reference that I trying to add? By the way, I am trying to add "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility" and my version is Excel 97.

Thanks,

Try the following:

ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromGuid _
GUID:="{0002E157-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}", _
major:=5, minor:=0

Add it manually, then query the reference for its GUID using VBA. I think
you can use 0 and 0 for the major and minor and it will use the latest.

Sub GetGUID()
For Each ref In ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References
Debug.Print ref.Name, ref.GUID
Next
End Sub


produced:
VBA {000204EF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Excel {00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
stdole {00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Office {2DF8D04C-5BFA-101B-BDE5-00AA0044DE52}
MSForms {0D452EE1-E08F-101A-852E-02608C4D0BB4}
VBIDE {0002E157-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

where the last one is what you want (but do it in Excel 97 - it might be
different)


or
Sub GetGUID()
For Each ref In ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References
Debug.Print ref.Name, ref.GUID, ref.Major, ref.Minor
Next
End Sub


VBA {000204EF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 4 0
Excel {00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 1 3
stdole {00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 2 0
Office {2DF8D04C-5BFA-101B-BDE5-00AA0044DE52} 2 1
MSForms {0D452EE1-E08F-101A-852E-02608C4D0BB4} 2 0
VBIDE {0002E157-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 5 3
