Reference.GUID property (Access)

  • Article

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 that 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.

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.

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.GUID 
 EndIf 
 Next ref 
End Sub
