The index parameter can either be a number or a string. If it is a number, then the index Answer object in the collection will be retrieved and the vartype parameter will be set to the HDVARTYPE value for the answer. If index is a string, it is interpreted as an Answer name and the Answer object with the name matching index and the type vartype. HotDocs answers are identified by their name and type, so vartype must be set to the correct HDVARTYPE when calling this method with a string for the index parameter.
