Working with the References Collection

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

The References collection contains Reference objects representing each reference in the References dialog box (Tools menu in the Microsoft® Visual Basic® Editor) to another project or object library. A new Microsoft® Access database contains four references by default. You can add or remove references by using the References dialog box or by using methods of the References collection in Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) code.

For more information about the References collection and Reference objects, search the Microsoft® Access Visual Basic® Reference Help index for "References collection" or "Reference object."
