| Index | Required | Variant |
Return value
Shape
The shape that is specified by the Index parameter.
Remarks
The Item method acts like the default Shapes.Value property. For example, create a report namedTable Tests that contains a table. The following statement in the Immediate window of the VBE prints the name of the table.
? ActiveProject.Reports("Table Tests").Shapes.Item(1).Name
If you leave off the Item method, the following statement has the same output, but uses the default Value property to get the Shape object.
? ActiveProject.Reports("Table Tests").Shapes(1).Name
The following statement is the same as the previous:
? ActiveProject.Reports("Table Tests").Shapes.Value(1).Name
