What is the correct VB class name to use in the following statement:

Dim oVBIDE As VB.App

Set oVBIDE = GetObject(, "VisualBasic.Application")

Thanks!

Joe

I don't think there is one that you can use like that. Are you thinking add-in,
here? You'd need to set a reference to the "Microsoft Visual Basic Extensibility"
library, and can then early-bind directly to the IDE with:

Private VBI As VBIDE.VBE

For an example addin, see "wiper" on:

Hi Karl,

I'm trying to get at the references that are set in my application and
change them programatically like I can do in a VBA application. Do you know
how/if this can be done?

Hi Joe --

I don't think that concept applies to compiled applications. If I asked why you were
trying to do this, maybe someone here might have an alternative suggestion.

Sorry... Karl
