Looping through a Scripting.Dictionary using index/item number

According to the documentation of the Item property:

Sets or returns an item for a specified key in a Dictionary object.

In your case, you don’t have an item whose key is 1 so doing:

s = d.Item(i)

actually creates a new key / value pair in your dictionary, and the value is empty because you have not used the optional newItem argument.

The Dictionary also has the Items method which allows looping over the indices:

a = d.Items
For i = 0 To d.Count - 1
    s = a(i)
Next i
