adding references

[Guest]

Hi,

I have developed a tool in excel 2003, in which i had used powerpoint
objects (Microsoft PowerPoint 11.0 Object Library). if i open it in Excel
2002 or Excel 2000 it will give an error. is there any way to find out the
respective object library of the respective versions.

Thanks in advance.

Why not use late binding?

Dim oPpt As Object

Set oPpt = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")

etc.

I use this code to get the library reference:


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

It will need the MS VBA Extensibility library (I have version 5.3)
