Adding a reference to a BASIC Script allows the selected COM objects properties and methods to be accessed without an explicit call to CreateObject. To access Available References, from within the BASIC scripting IDE, select Edit > References. The following dialog appears.
The References dialog box shows the current BASIC script references. References to type libraries may be added (checked) or removed (unchecked) and the relative priority can be changed. Checked references are available to the current macro/module. Each selected reference is searched in order from top to bottom.
