Is this a VB project, or some VBA code in an Excel workbook. If the latter,
Excel will update its own references correctly. If the former, I've no idea why
you shouldn't be able to remove the reference, but you could try closing VB and
editing the .vbp file in Notepad to remove the Excel reference.
