Reference.Guid Property

  • Article
Access Developer Reference

The GUID property of a Reference object returns a GUID that identifies a type library in the Windows Registry. Read-only String.

Syntax

expression.Guid

expression   A variable that represents a Reference object.

Remarks

Every type library has an associated GUID which is stored in the Registry. When you set a reference to a type library, Microsoft Access uses the type library's GUID to identify the type library.

You can use the AddFromGUID method to create a Reference object from a type library's GUID.

Example

The following example prints the value of the FullPath, GUID, IsBroken, Major, and Minor properties for each Reference object in the References collection:

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub ReferenceProperties()
    Dim ref As Reference

' Enumerate through References collection.
For Each ref In References
    ' Check IsBroken property.
    If ref.IsBroken = False Then
        Debug.Print "Name: ", ref.Name
        Debug.Print "FullPath: ", ref.FullPath
        Debug.Print "Version: ", ref.Major & "." & ref.Minor
    Else
        Debug.Print "GUIDs of broken references:"
        Debug.Print ref.<strong class="bterm">GUID</strong>
    EndIf
Next ref



End Sub
