I am looking for a description of the various Microsoft References
available
under the Available References dialog box that is accessed under Tools |
References from the Microsoft Visual Basic screen.
Does anyone know of a list that describes the references?
There's no such a list that exists, because every single new piece of
software you install on your computer will likely appear in that list. In
other words you're asking for a list that it finds every piece of software
that you've ever purchased and installed on your computer. Such a list is a
fantasy and does not exist.
Worse is that many of the items in that reference list are in fact huge
products that can take years to learn. For example if you install outlook,
then you'll see outlook in your tools->references. (and I seen huge shelf's
of books on just learning Outlook).
So, unfortunately that lists has to be documented on a case by case basis.
if
you install the Adobe reader object, then you'll likely see an ActiveX
control in the tools reference. You have to go to the Adobe site and read up
on the big pile of documentation for that object. The same goes if to you
so
decide to install excel on your computer, then excel will appear in that
tools->reference list.
So, this list is going to be different on every computer, and it going to be
based on whatever software you've installed on your particular computer, and
my computer will be different then yours.
I can learn how to do some math, but I'm not going to find a reference on
the Internet that lists out every single number and single math problem on
the Internet. This is the same situation for those references.
If you're asking what are the basic references you need for typical access
application to run, then I suggest that you create a brand new blank access
database and then go into the code editor and look at the tools->references
you get. This approach usually gives you the basic reference list that
access needs run correclty.
