I believe you use the AddFromFile method. Here's a line I used in an MSWord macro to accomplish the same thing:
ActiveDocument.VBProject.References.AddFromFile "[directory]\VBEEXT1.olb"
You'll have to adjust the above for Excel object references.
Is that what you're looking for?

Yes that's what I want! Thank You !

BTW: Maybe AddFromGuid "{...}" is better because Office/Excel may be
in different directory in different machines

Ismo - How do you determine the GUID for a library file of interest? After rattling around VBE and VBA help, the truth was, as usual, shrouded in mists. Did you get AddFromGuid working?

I run regedit and find data "VBEEXT1.olb" and take value on it.
I don't understand anything about GUID but value is same with
two tested machine.
It works on my NT4.0 and Win98 with Office97 but I think
it don't work with Office2000 because
AddFromGuid needs some version parameters?
