Removes a member from a Collection object.

Public Overloads Sub Remove(ByVal { Key As String | Index As Integer })

Parameters

Key

A unique String expression that specifies a key string that can be used, instead of a positional index, to access a member of the collection.

Index

An expression that specifies the position of a member of the collection. If a numeric expression, Index must be a number from 1 to the value of the collection's Count property. If a String expression, Index must correspond to the Key argument specified when the member referred to was added to the collection.

Exceptions/Errors

Remarks

If Index doesn't match an existing member of the collection, an error occurs.
