Default use different string variables in FOR loop

A For loop can only use a number for the count.


That is not entirely true... you can use a For Each loop to iterate a
collection or an array without referring to any numerical values. For
example, here is a rewrite of your code to demonstrate this...

<Code
Dim Word As Variant
For Each Word In Array("Red", "Green", "Blue", "Orange")
Debug.Print Word
Next
</Code


This solution is interesting to me as well and may get used in the
future, but the other solution posted gives me a better opportunity to
put a comment after each string value so I can better document what is
being done.

Thanks for the idea.
