References

The References dialog controls which of VBA Padlock’s built-in library modules are compiled into your protected DLL. Tick ExcelConstants, for instance, and the compiler recognizes xlUp, xlCellTypeVisible, and every other xl* symbol your code uses, no magic numbers required. Open it with the References button in the Protect tab’s Project group.

The left pane lists the available modules as a checkbox tree; select one to read its documentation in the preview pane.

Module	Provides
ExcelConstants	The xl* constants (Excel).
WordConstants	The wd* constants (Word).
PowerPointConstants	The pp* constants (PowerPoint).
AccessConstants	The ac* constants (Access).
OfficeConstants	The shared mso* constants.
MSFormsConstants	The fm* constants (Microsoft Forms 2.0).
Financial	Financial functions (PMT, PV, NPV, IRR, …).
ErrorHandler	Error-handling helpers.

Checked modules are compiled into the DLL with your code and saved with the project; unchecked ones cost nothing. If a constant doesn’t resolve at compile time, tick the missing module and run a Syntax Check.
