Checking for Reference errors in Excel

January 5th, 2009
  • Hi,

    I am having an VBA application in which i am using Word objects to save documents and print from excel. I add the reference to MSWord9.OLB(2000) on workbook load. But when the same workbook is loaded on a 97 or an XP m/c it fails b'cos the .OLB file for the other versions of the OS r different. IS there anyway to know version of the MSWord(x).OLB used for a particular OS. Also is there a way to check for references and remove them if they are missing.
    If there are missing references and we compile it is giving errors at odd locations.

    Thanks
    Veera


  • Perhaps I'm not following, but...

    How are you adding it? GUID?

    Check this out:

    If you set the major integer to 1 and minor to 0, it'll grab the lowest version available in the references, which should work. It also tests to see if a reference exists, if so, don't add another, if not, add the lowest available. And set up a boolean to tell you later to remove the reference if you added it. Return the settings back to those before you tampered with them if you will.

    Hope this helps.
