WD98: Error - Cyclic References Of Projects Not Allowed (181789)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181789 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to add a project as a reference in Visual Basic for
Applications, you receive the following error message:
Cyclic references of projects not allowed
CAUSE
You are attempting to reference a project for which a reference already
exists.
MORE INFORMATION
For example, the global template Normal.dot is the default underlying
template for all new documents. Normal.dot contains the Visual Basic for
Applications project, "Normal."
When you create a new document based on the Word default template
Normal.dot, the new document automatically inherits a reference to the
"Normal" project. Also, each document is, in itself, a Visual Basic for
Applications project.
Because the document project contains a reference to the normal project,
if you attempt to create a reference to the document project from the
"Normal" project, the error described earlier in this article will occur.
Also, the cyclic reference error will occur if you have made a reference
to a project, for example, Project2 in Project1, and you then try to make
a reference to Project1 in Project2.
For example, either project may have a reference to the other:
- Project1 can reference Project2
-or-
- Project2 can reference Project1
But you cannot create a situation in which the projects reference each
other. For example, the following will generate the cyclic reference
error:
- Project1 with a reference to Project2
-and-
- Project2 with a reference to Project1
For more information about references, click the Office Assistant while in
the Visual Basic Editor, type references, click Search, and then click to
view "Check or Add an Object Library Reference."
