Microsoft Excel Object Library Office 2007: How to Check or Add a Reference (VBA) | Microsoft Learn[

ClickProject and then click References. The Referencesdialog box appears. Scroll down the list until you find Microsoft Excel object library, and then select the item to add a reference to Excel. If the correct object library for your version of Excel does not appear in the list, make sure that you have your version of Excel properly installed.

I am developing an app in A2007. The object Library for Excel is Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library. I am installing a new machine with Access 2007 (I am not sure how it was available) which is using the 12.0 Library. My machine is using the Access 12.0 and Office 12.0 libraries. My machine also has A2010 installed, which probably accounts for this. How can I downgrade to the Excel 12.0 Library?

No I see that I didn't. I must have installed Access2007 as a standalone after I got the machine almost a year ago. I moved the Excel.exe for Office14 from my machine to the new one and pointed to it. That gave me the library I needed and I compiled without a problem. Thanks for the help.

I also feel it's important to correct the statement made in this discussion that the object library is part of a *.exe file. It is not. The Office object libraries are in *.olb and *.tlb files. But a .NET project does not work with these directly, as these are COM. An "translation interface" is required for a .NET app to be able to communicate with COM, as they use different data types and some other things are different. These "translation interfaces" are called "Interop Assemblies" (IAs) and can be generated using the tlbImp.exe tool that's part of Visual Studio. In this case, the IAs need to be distributed with the solution. A software manufacturer can deliver an optimized set of IAs, called PIAs (Primary Interop Assembly). These are stored in the .NET GAC and are meant to be used by all developers and are what should be used in your Office projects.

I would think you would need to install Office 2007 on your machine to get the library. But then office 2010 is meant to work with Window 7 which are both 64 bit machines. Are they running window 7 on your clients PC? I don't think you will be able to fully verify you application when you are running at one site a 64 bit environment and the 2nd site a 32 environment.

If you use the objects in other applications as part of your Visual Basic application, you may want to establish a reference to the object libraries of those applications. Before you can do that, you must first be sure that the application provides an object library.

The References dialog box shows all object libraries registered with the operating system. Scroll through the list for the application whose object library you want to reference. If the application isn't listed, you can use the Browse button to search for object libraries (*.olb and *.tlb) or executable files (*.exe and *.dll on Windows). References whose check boxes are selected are used by your project; those that aren't selected are not used, but can be added.

Select the object library reference in the Available References box in the References dialog box and choose OK. Your Visual Basic project now has a reference to the application's object library. If you open the Object Browser (press F2) and select the application's library, it displays the objects provided by the selected object library, as well as each object's methods and properties.

I have a macro in Excel 2007 that interacts with Microsoft Word. I apply the Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library in order to access the necessary commands. However, when an Office 2003 user tries to use the macro, he gets an error. This is because Office 2003 uses the Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library. The 12.0 library is seen as missing.

If I save the document in 2003 with the 11.0 Object library, everything works fine. Both 2003 and 2007 users are able to use the macro. But 2007 seems to automatically update the 11.0 object library to 12.0. Thus if a user saves the document in 2007 and tries to pass it back to a 2003 user, the functionality will break once again.

I faced the same problem when i tried to open my old c# project into visual studio 2017 version. This problem arises typically when you try to open a project that you made with previous version of VS and open it with latest version.what i did is,i opened my project and delete the reference from my project,then added Microsoft outlook 12.0 object library and Microsoft office 12.0 object libraryMicrosoft outlook 12.0 object library

You should use "late binding" instead of "early binding". This means, make your program with any known library. Then declare all your known objects from this library to be just universal Object type. After this, you can remove reference to library.

Since your question is about the Excel 2007 object model, I suggest that you take a look at other web sites that specialise in Excel.In particular, when it comes to subtleties between different versions of another product,you are likely to find that plenty of puzzled programmers have already asked your question and got answers to it.There are, of course, plenty of Excel specialist sites; some arementioned here.

The problem is the code below will not work using late binding, if I reference the Excel object library it's OK. This seems to be a common Microstation vba task but I can not find any examples or help doing it with late binding, what am I missing?

That was very helpful, but most if not all of those examples require early binding because they are using Excel constants. I did however find that if I set reference to the object library and find the values for the constants, then substitute the constants with the appropriate values, I can then delete the object library reference.

Automation between Microsoft Office programs works with only the programs installed on your computer. If you don't have a given program (like Microsoft Outlook) installed, you can't load its object library or control it through VBA.

After you set a reference to an external program's object library, you can create instances that you program in VBA. An instance is basically the same idea as an open program window. For example, when you start Microsoft Internet Explorer on your computer, you're creating an instance of Internet Explorer. If you right-click a link and choose Open in New Window, a new, separate Internet Explorer window opens to show the new page. Now you have two instances of Internet Explorer open, each showing a different Web page.

A friend of mine is missing the Microsoft Office XX.0 Object Library. He has office 2016 installed. He is using a code that I generated to export a bill of materials from Inventor to excel. A reference to the Microsoft Office XX.0 Object Library is required. This object Library is not present in the References window (VBA>Tools>References). Is there a way to download another/find in his directory?. Would I be able to give him a copy of my object library? If so, what would be the filename for the library?

I figured it out though. The main issue I was having was determining the location and name of the dll file. For me, the object library was only missing from the references window while using vba editor in Inventor. When I open up excel and pull up its vba window, the object library was not missing from the list.

The next morning I opened Visual Studio 2015 and opened a Visual Basic > Windows > Classic Desktop > Console Application. From the Solution Explorer, I right clicked References > Add Reference. A window came up with an extensive list of object libraries. I found the Microsoft Office 16.0 Object Library that I was looking for, and when I put the cursor over the listed object library, it displayed the full path and file name uncut and uncensored.

Anyways, I can't imagine I am the only one in the world who had or is having this issue with an object library. For Office 2016, here is the full file path, which I imagine will be the same for any user because I believe it is a default directory:

If anyone is having a similar issue with an object library and they know it is on their computer somewhere, employ the aforementioned method using Visual Studio 2015; Community Edition should work fine.

For instance, you may see a message that says "object library not registered," and be completely lost as to what it means. In this case, it is helpful to understand how Excel works with external programs.

Versions of BIFF, the "binary interchange file format," were used as the default formats for Excel spreadsheets, with the file extension .xls, until superseded in Excel 2007 by the XML-based XLSX/OOXML. Excel spreadsheet files with the .xls extension are not all in a single format. For versions of Excel through Excel 4.0 (1992), spreadsheet files could contain only a single worksheet; those early XLS files consisted of a single BIFF stream (through BIFF4). About the .xls binary format, a description from FreeXML, an open-source library to extract data from an XLS spreadsheet, indicates, "There is no .xls file format. It's really a common file suffix applied to many different things." The FreeXML description has a table relating the different versions of BIFF to versions of Excel. Useful details of the early formats are in OpenOffice.org's Documentation of the Microsoft Excel File Format, covering Excel versions 2, 3, 4, 5, 95, 97, 2000, XP, and 2003. Microsoft's own 2007 documentation for the .xls format is available as Microsoft Office Excel 97-2007 Binary File Format Specification [*.xls], which covers BIFF documentation for Excel versions 5, 95, 97, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2007. 2ff7e9595c
