    How to restore default VBA libraries in Excel 2013?

    Hello everyone,

    I'm a beginner with Excel VBA. I did a search on this forum and didn't see anything related, but I'm wondering if there is a way to restore the default reference libraries that are checked the first time you open Tools => References in VBA in Excel 2013. I think I accidentally unclicked something that's necessary to run the program, and I can't find a "default restore" option or anything of that sort.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The references are workbook specific. What problem are you facing and which library do you think is missing?

    Hello Rory,

    I am trying to write a function that exports a table from Excel and adds it to an existing database in Access. Previously, I received an error 3343, and tried to solve the problem by adding and removing various libraries. Now, I am getting an error message that says "Compile Error: Method or Data Member not Found", and it highlights the very first line of my subroutine [the line that reads "Sub ExportToAccess () ].

    That is unlikely to be a reference issue, I would say. It would indicate you are trying to use a property or method that doesn't exist for the object in question. Can you post the routine?

    As for the libraries, I have no idea which one is missing--this is why I'm looking for the option to restore the defaults. But the libraries I currently have checked are as follows:

    Visual Basic for Applications
    Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library
    Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
    Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library
    Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library
    OLE Automation
    Microsoft Access 15.0 Object Library

    Thank you, that change overcame the Compile Error. I am still getting a 3343 Error when I try to run the program. However, I'm not sure if this is due to a missing reference library, or a flaw in the code, so I think it would be more appropriate as a separate topic.

    Thanks again for your help.
