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
