"not trusted" err msg ? [RESOLVED] added code..

[MJBNET]

anyone know why i get this error ?
1004Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted

also if i just run [MsgBox Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.Count] without error handling i get:
1004Method 'VBE' of object '_Application' failed
- BUT, only on the second and subsequent attempts...

from excel run:

Sub A1A1()
    On Error GoTo errMsg
    MsgBox Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.Count
errMsg:
    ActiveCell = Err.Number & Err.Description
    Err.Clear
End Sub

See if the following link helps you:

Also, there is a dedicated VBA Forum (this is a MS Excel question).

tkx RhinoBull..! exactly right...

yeah, i sometimes wonder what forum to post in because i see api and vba posts here all the time. strictly speaking i should prolly post everything in the vba forum since i only work in excel and don't even have vb, but i use it and api all the time... anyway i'll try to be more specific on the postings tkx

Also, I think you need an Exit Sub to avoid the ActiveCell being written with "0" if no error has raised.

Sub A1A1()
    On Error GoTo errMsg
    MsgBox Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.Count
    Exit Sub
 
errMsg:
    ActiveCell = Err.Number & Err.Description
    Err.Clear
End Sub

just thought i'd post where i went with this...it returns the details about each reference like:

Sub PrintRef()
'PRINT TO "C:\ProjectRef.txt" PROJECT REFERENCES & DETAILS
    Dim ref As Reference
    Dim fn1 As Integer
    
    On Error GoTo errMsg
    fn1 = FreeFile
    Open "C:\ProjectRef.txt" For Output As #fn1
    Print #fn1, "Active Project References - ["; Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.Count; "]"
    Print #fn1, ""
    For Each ref In Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References
        With ref
            Print #fn1, .Name & " " & .Major & "." & .Minor

        End With
    Next
errMsg:

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
        Print #fn1, "     Error: " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
        Close #fn1
