Item Method

The Item method returns a specific member of a collection either by position or by key. Reference object.

expression   Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

var  Required Variant. An expression that specifies the position of a member of the collection referred to by the expression argument. If a numeric expression, the var argument must be a number from 1 to the value of the collection's Count property. If a string expression, the var argument must be the name of a member of the collection.

Remarks

If the value provided for the var argument doesn't match any existing member of the collection, an error occurs.

The Item method is the default member of the References collection, so you don't have to specify it explicitly. For example, the following two lines of code are equivalent:

Debug.Print References(1).Name

Debug.Print References.Item(1).Name
