Enable Microsoft Scripting Runtime with vba within a Public Sub with Public Declarations

[dcoker]

I have a Public Sub that has Public declarations as

Public sdProcess As New Scripting.Dictionary
Public sdHeaders As New Scripting.Dictionary

I would like to automate the activation of Microsoft Scripting Runtime using this code or something similar:

ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromGUID "{420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228}", 1, 0

The second line of code works great to enable the reference on its own within a standalone sub, but the problem is that I cannot insert this code to enable the reference within the main Public sub code that needs the reference enabled to run due to the Public declarations before the sub.

Is there a way to make this work without having to run the macro to enable the reference, then run the main macro that uses the reference?

Thanks!

Why do you (think you) need to do that, rather than just setting the reference at design time, or simply using late binding?

 

[dcoker]

I have new code that is needed for older files that did not originally have this reference enabled. :/
Roughly 50 files
Trying to save some time for when I go back and fix the old files using the updated code...

 

[RoryA]

Why not just late bind it?

Also, for what it's worth, it's not really considered good practice to use

Dim ... As New ...

It's better to declare and initialise separately and explicitly.

 

[dcoker]

I'm not sure how to do that - as I am not the person that originally wrote this script.

I have new code that is needed for older files that did not originally have this reference enabled. :/
Roughly 50 files
Trying to save some time for when I go back and fix the old files using the updated code...

If you just want to save time why don't you place the line in each of the 50 files open event :

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Me.VBProject.References.AddFromGUID "{420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228}", 1, 0
End Sub

Or better still, if you have a personal.xlsb workbook or a workbook in \Excel\XLSTART folder and place the following code in its ThisWorkbook module then the Scripting library should be loaded for each and every file automatically :

Option Explicit

Private WithEvents xlapp As Application

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Set xlapp = Application
End Sub

Private Sub xlapp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
    Wb.VBProject.References.AddFromGUID "{420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228}", 1, 0
End Sub
