In fact there is.  Using a For...Next loop for such situations is a 
well-known source of programming errors; I think this is mentioned in 
"Code Complete", and there have been numerous "help me" messages on this 
list in which the problem is caused by using a For..Next loop like this.
Consider the following code.

  For i = 0 to WindowCount - 1
    Window(i).Close
  Next

Will this close all windows?
