1.3.2 Project References

Records within Reference Information (section 2.3.4.2.2) in the dir Stream (section 2.3.4.2) define references to external resources that are used by the VBA project. Each REFERENCE (section 2.3.4.2.2.1) in Reference Information (section 2.3.4.2.2) corresponds to a reference to an external resource that can interact via OLE Automation as described in [MS-OAUT].

The three types of external references are as follows:

  • A REFERENCECONTROL (section 2.3.4.2.2.3) specifies a reference to external ActiveX controls that are used by the VBA project.

  • A REFERENCEREGISTERED (section 2.3.4.2.2.5) specifies a reference to external Automation type libraries that are used by the VBA project.

  • A REFERENCEPROJECT (section 2.3.4.2.2.6) specifies a reference to external VBA projects that are used by the VBA project.
