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
