Re-Establishing Old References

[BrianExcel]

hello -

A while back I wrote a workbook that was working well for me. Then my laptop crashed. I was able to retrieve some data, including the old workbook, but since the OS and Office Suite all had to be completely reinstalled and reconfigured, now when I try and run the workbook, I get error messages on certain code blocks saying I don't have the right references installed.

Is there any way to determine what references are needed in an easy way?

Also, dumb question, but is there any downside to just checking/enabling them all?

Thanks!

Have you considered switching to early binding?

Then you wouldn't need references.

I'll have to look up what that means - thanks for the tip!

I have heard the terms "Early Binding" & "Late Binding" before in reference to another macro that I found (ShipTrack for Excel), but I have never investigated what exactly that means, or how to accomplish it.

Any links you could point me to? (Yes, I know Google is my friend)...
