Here is how to get the Guid's programmatically! You can then use these guids/filepaths with an above answer to add the reference!

Reference: http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=278

Sub ListReferencePaths()
'Lists path and GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for each referenced library.
'Select a reference in Tools > References, then run this code to get GUID etc.
    Dim rw As Long, ref
    With ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
        .Cells.Clear
        rw = 1
        .Range("A" & rw & ":D" & rw) = Array("Reference","Version","GUID","Path")
        For Each ref In ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References
            rw = rw + 1
            .Range("A" & rw & ":D" & rw) = Array(ref.Description, _
                   "v." & ref.Major & "." & ref.Minor, ref.GUID, ref.FullPath)
        Next ref
        .Range("A:D").Columns.AutoFit
    End With
End Sub

Here is the same code but printing to the terminal if you don't want to dedicate a worksheet to the output.

Sub ListReferencePaths() 
 'Macro purpose:  To determine full path and Globally Unique Identifier (GUID)
 'to each referenced library.  Select the reference in the Tools\References
 'window, then run this code to get the information on the reference's library

On Error Resume Next 
Dim i As Long 

Debug.Print "Reference name" & " | " & "Full path to reference" & " | " & "Reference GUID" 

For i = 1 To ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References.Count 
  With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.References(i) 
    Debug.Print .Name & " | " & .FullPath  & " | " & .GUID 
  End With 
Next i 
On Error GoTo 0 
End Sub
