@rob...

i looked at it approx. 500 times and could have sworn any oath that i set the reference right...

..which di'dn't, of course...

i had:'Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Extensibility'
instead of
'Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility'

thanks to your patience and friendly help i managed to correct it without any additional support needed...

poooooooooohhhhhh...

apologies for not being able to see the forest before the trees, rob

thank you very much again for your time...

best,
wolfgang

Wolfgang: What Excel version is this? It might be that you need to declare vbc as Object to make it work.

Wolfgang,

Perhaps you've got some password protected modules?

Otherwise, I'm at a loss.

hi rob...

thank you very much for your answers...

i did as you suggested and the code breaks at:
For Each vbc In wkb.VBProject.VBComponents

with run-time error '13' type mismatch...

i also checked the references ...

i run on xp-pro and office 2003, both us-versions...

If you are searching for text in a VBA module could you modify and enhance Chip Pearson's macro that "exports all of the modules in a workbook to text files."?
Loop thru all xls files in a directory, export the VBA to text files, and then search the text files? (maybe import to an Excel sheet then search)

Wolfgang,

Remove the line "On Error GoTo errwkb"
That will cause the code to break on error, identifying the faulty line of code.

Also, doublecheck you have a Reference to "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility"
From VBA's Tools > References menu.
