Object library's language setting incompatible with current project

  • Article

This page is specific to the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Language Reference for Office 2010.

The reference couldn't be added. This error has the following cause and solution:

  • You attempted to add a reference to an object library whose locale isn't compatible with the locale of the current project. The reference was not added. To use that object library, a project whose locale is compatible with it must be created.

    Try registering both Visual Basic for Applications and the host application for the given language. The object library then becomes available in the References dialog box.

    Note

    When Visual Basic is the host application, it isn't possible to change a project's language setting. Any object libraries used must be compatible with the English/U.S. setting.
