SYMPTOMS
In a Microsoft Visual Basic Programming System, Applications Edition
module, if you choose References from the Tools menu, multiple references
with the same name are listed in the References dialog box.
CAUSE
The References dialog box provides access to methods and properties
from other applications that support object linking and embedding
(OLE). The Available References list includes object library files
(*.OLB) and specific application files, such as Microsoft Excel
Workbook files, Microsoft Excel Add-in files, and Microsoft Project
Project files. These files are listed in the Available References
list without the full path. Therefore, if two or more files are
listed in the References dialog box with the same name from different
directories, they appear in the References dialog box with the
same name.
WORKAROUND
To determine the location of a file listed in the References dialog box,
select the filename from the Available References list. The name of the
directory path as well as the language in which the reference was written
is listed under Group.
MORE INFORMATION
The References command, available on the Tools menu, adds, deletes,
or makes available for editing Visual Basic references to object
libraries and other files from applications that support object
linking and embedding (OLE). Files that may be listed in the
References dialog box include Microsoft Excel Workbook files,
Microsoft Excel Add-in files, and Microsoft Project project files.
You must be in a Visual Basic module to use this command.
To remove a reference from the Available References list, clear the check
box next to the referenced file and choose OK. If the file is not loaded,
the reference does not appear in the References dialog box the next time
you choose References from the Tools menu.
