9.9.9 Item Method

Returns a specific member of a collection by name or ordinal number.
 

Applies To

Errors, Fields, Parameters, Properties
 

Syntax

Set object = collection.Item ( Index )

Parameters

object
Object reference created.
Index
A Variant that evaluates either to the name or to the ordinal number of an object in a collection.

Return Values

Returns an object reference.
 

Remarks

Use the Item method to return a specific object in a collection. If the method cannot find an object in the collection corresponding to the Index argument, an error occurs. Also, some collections don't support named objects; for these collections, you must use ordinal number references.
 
The Item method is the default method for all collections; therefore, the following syntax forms are interchangeable:
 

collection.Item (Index)

collection (Index)
