Index Property (Field Object) 

The Index property returns the index number of this Field object within the Fields collection. Read-only.

Syntax

objField.Index

Data Type

Long

Remarks

An index value should not be considered to be a static value that remains constant for the duration of a session. The index can change whenever an update occurs to a parent object, such as the message or folder.

Example

' set up a variable as an index to access a small collection

' fragment from the functions Fields_FirstItem, Fields_NextItem

    If objFieldsColl Is Nothing Then

        MsgBox "must first select a Fields collection"

        Exit Function

    End If

    If 0 = objFieldsColl.Count Then

        MsgBox "No fields in the collection"

        Exit Function

    End If

' Fragment from Fields_FirstItem

    iFieldsCollIndex = 1

    Set objOneField = objFieldsColl.Item(iFieldsCollIndex)

    ' verify that the Field object is valid...

' Fragment from Fields_NextItem

    If iFieldsCollIndex >= objFieldsColl.Count Then

        iFieldsCollIndex = objFieldsColl.Count

        MsgBox "Already at end of Fields collection"

        Exit Function

    End If

    iFieldsCollIndex = iFieldsCollIndex + 1

    Set objOneField = objFieldsColl.Item(iFieldsCollIndex)

    ' verify that the Field object is valid...
