how you know which object library to add to references when you want to automate an application?
for example Adobe acrobat.
or internet explorer ( ie).
I know that the .dll for ie id shdocvw (an i know it's explicitly listed under internet controls) but how would i know this is it wasn't listed?
Also, correct me if i'm wrong, but usung the shdocvw.dll will only give you access to the main controls of Ie nd you would need to add a HTML library to do anything use full. How do you know if there are other libraries available can make the 'usefulness' of one library more useful?
Our office has different versions of Office on different computers. We have a file containing macros specifically macros that interact with Outlook requiring the Outlook Object Library. If a 2013 opens and saves the file all the libraries get changed to 15.0. Then a 2010 Office opens the file ... the Excel Objects and Office Objects libraries change to 14.0 because of 2010, but then we getting the error about missing library. Instead of loading the Outlook 14.0 Object Library like it's supposed to the systems tries to find the 15.0, but can't find it and throws the error.
I have to manually go in to References and uncheck the Missing 15.0 outlook library and find and check the 14.0 one and click ok then the macros work fine.
My question is why do the other object libraries automatically change depending on the version of office and the outlook one doesn't.
Interestingly enough this doesn't happen the other way e.g. 2010 to 2013. Ones the file is saved using the 2010 with the 14.0 references 2013 has no issues converting those references to 15.0.
I am trying to run a macro that i have copied from another workbook (which works fine) and when i try to run the macro i am getting a 'compile error' which says "Can't Find Object or Library" and takes into VB editor which highlights the word "Trim", which is part of a formula. What does this mean? I can't understand why the same macro will work in another workbook but not in this one. Below is the full code, I would have attached the workbook but it would not work for you as it opens and saves files that you would not have. Hopefully someone can understand from the code.
I have this vba that copies the current sheet and renames it as well as copying the current sheet into a new workbook for emailing.
This has worked fine for the last 2 years or so but all of a sudden it doesn't want to work. The error message is that it "Can't find project or library."
Code: Dt = Format(Range("C19").Value + 6, "DDMMYYYY") Dt is dimmed as string and Dt is used to rename the new sheet.
I have looked througn the reference library and things seem ok.
This happens in Excel 2003 with Win8 and in excel 2013 with Win7.
i'm using a user form and i have the microsoft forms 2.0 Object Library checked. i have sent to another user, and i can't compile, when i took at this vba tools reference, microsoft forms 2.0 Object Library checked is missing (and not available in the drop down)...?
I added this code to a userform initialize & now I get a message ' can't find object or library '. Which library do I have to activate in Tools, References.
Dim x As Integer ComboBox1.AddItem "0" For x = 1 To 20 Step 1 ComboBox1.AddItem Format(x, "0") Next x ComboBox1.Value = Sheet2.Range("E1").Value ComboBox2.AddItem "0" For x = 2 To 90 Step 2 ComboBox2.AddItem Format(x, "0") Next x ComboBox2.Value = Sheet2.Range("E2").Value
The word Format is highlited in userform initilize.
In a workbook made in Excel 2003, I have the following for a UserForm:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate Me.Calendar1.Value = Date End Sub
I copied this workbook to a computer with Excel 2007 and it bombs out at "Date" It comes up with a compile error, "Can't find project or library"
In the references window (Tools, References) it has the "Missing: Ref Edit Control" checked and the location at the bottom of this window states "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11REFEDIT.DLL".
The reference to Office11 is from the computer with Office 2003 as the computer with Office 2007 has Office12.
There is another "Ref Edit Control" in the References window and when I check it and browse to the Office12 folder, highlight REFEDIT.Dll and click on open and in the references window on OK it comes up with "Name conflicts with existing module, project or object library". I have tried to delete the "Missing: Ref Edit Control", change the priority and change the reference in the missing control to Office12 but all to no avail.
How can I change the reference to the Ref Edit Control from Office11 to Office12?
1) i have office 2003 on a laptop. within powerpoint, i can create a 'microsoft excel chart 11' object. to create a link to the excel data source, do i have to go through the odbc sql setup? it works, but i don't want my powerpoint to be dependent on some excel file somewhere. what are the other options to insert/make a functional pivot chart in powerpoint with the data also within powerpoint? the data as sheet option does not result in the chart being a pivot, it's just a plain chart. it has to be a proper object, not an image paste or a chart that updates links with the excel file open.
2) i have office 2007 on my other laptop. i can not find any suitable object to choose from to make a pivot chart in powerpoint. what's the best way to go about in 2007 version?
3) am i going about this the wrong way with the objects? should i be after vba code?
I am using Mid function in my program. During execution, i am getting the waring message of "Complier Error: Cann't find project or library".I am not able to find the what is the reason behind on it. If really the library file missing.
I have inhereted an Excel template from someone at my office. I am trying to update it, but sometimes when I change cells, I get an error message saying "Cannot Find Object or Library" and then it opens some box that says "References-VBA project and then all these checkboxes below.
Can anyone answer this one for me - why does this piece of code run on some machines but not on others - I suspect it is something to do with a missing library but I have no idea which one.
When the code fails it highlights the word " Date" inside the brackets
is if I F8 through the code it works fine. But when I run the code through the button on the spread sheet. It stops at the Format comand. And says "Can't Find Project or Library." Has anyone ran into this issue or know how to solve it.....
I have been writing VB code for a mathematical model for a client and recently made some small modifications to a workbook and ran the code quite ok on my Windows XP computer (Excel2003).
When I sent it to my client who also uses Excel 2003 and has been running many similar pages of code, my client gets "Can't find project or library", with the highlight showing in the VB code at ..... "& Chr$(10)" and then again at "& Str(x)", - but no really rational reason why it should stop there.
I need to add a Reference to the "The Microsoft Visual Basic Extensibility Library 5.3" using VBA code in an Excel spreadsheet. I know how to do it going to Tools...References select the library etc, but I'd rather do it using VBA code so I don't have to do this extra step.
I am getting a complie error that I did not get when the code was written. Earlier versions of the same workbook still work fine without error. I hope thie workbook is not corrupted.
The error happens with the None command in this code for a button in a user form.
I'm fiddling with a C# library, trying to learn about including homemade libraries in my VBA code. I've written a simple library, compiled it, and did the COM registration. When I open the VBE and start up a new module, I'm able to find the library in the Tools | References dialog box, and I check it to include it. When I write the code, however, autocomplete doesn't give me the option of any of the definitions I've written into the library, and when executed, I'm getting a "User-defined type not defined" error.
I have recently updated to Office 2007. I have about 50 forms with VBA in them (all excel) and I was careful to save them all back to 2003 office files. When one of my users opens the files and uses on of the internal userforms it errors out saying it is missing a reference.
I have written a program in VBA. When I run this program on other computer VB showes "Can't find project or library" error and all of the the common function like "Str" and "Left" and... are not known by BVA. I think I know the reason I have a missing references in my program.
first , can I check it before runing the program by a macro? second, How can I solve the error?
I have an Excel Macro that works fine on my server and some workstations. But I have a problem with a particular PC. This PC works with Windows XP Pro as OS, and has Ms Office XP (Excel included). Unfortunatelly when I run the macro on that PC I got this message: "Complie error: User-definde type not defined" I checked the vba project references and I found that the ADO 2.8 Library was missing. That seems to be the problem. How can I get the ADO 2.8 Library on that machine? Do I have to install some Excel component or maybe some add in?
I have some project that works on my computer and doesn't work on other. When I run it on other computer it fail on functions right and mid, and throw "Can't Find Project Or Library". What the problem and how I may be sure that my project will run on other computers?
Fail on row: ext=Right(sel,1)
My computer: Windows XP, Excel 2003 Failed computer: Windows 2000, Excel 2000
I would like to build a "library" of important functions and sub routines in such a manner that the contents of the "library" (functions and sub routines) are always available whenever I work with any Excel file? Can someone kindly help and guide me to build and use/register this "library" concept (I don;t know what this concept is called in Excel)
At the moment the library will have only the following function but with passage of time and as I learn more about VBA, I would certainly be adding more functions/Sub routines to my library:
Function FindDataStartCell() As Range ' This function returns the start of data range
Dim rngFind As Range
If Len(ActiveSheet.Range("A1")) > 0 Then Set FindDataStartCell = ActiveSheet.Range("A1") Else
I'm trying to programmatically add and remove the Outlook 11.0 Reference Library in Excel 2003. So far, I have found the following code which successfuly adds the reference:
I have four columns in my worksheet. In column C, I need to find the no. of times word "Alarm" is occuring. Further, with each "Alarm" entry in col C, there is a alarm type given in column D. I need to find the no. of alarms for each type and then display a bar chart for the alarm type vs. frequency of its occurence.
I call this code from within Workbook_Open......... If these Refrences libraries are loaded then an error appear tells Name conflict with object library........it's clear why......
Is there a way 2 check if the Refrences are loaded then exit the sub i.e. no need to excute this code , and if not loaded then excute the code ?
Sub GetRefLibr() Dim ID As Object On Error Resume Next

I'm looking to sort Library of Congress call numbers in Excel. The format of the cdall numbers is:
Letters Number Period Letter Number
and after that, perhaps more periods, letters and numbers!
The problem seems to be that if I have (sorted): C3.A40 C25.C25 C124.D45
attempting to sort them as text would list C124.D45 C25.C25 C3.A40
Which is incorrect. I've been looking at the cell formatting features, and they seem to only allow me to change how the data is displayed, not how Excel thinks about the type of data.
