But, it *will* be case sensitive because you have changed the Mode of MyCollection by assigning to it an inline collection that, 
by default, is case sensitive.

The result of "MyCollection = New Collection(gb.IgnoreCase)" is you have an empty collection that is case-insensitive. Then, you 
*overwrite* that empty collection with a case-sensitive collection with one key/value pair. It is, essentially, a *different* 
collection.

Try the following, first as it is, and then with the commented line uncommented:
[code]
Public Sub main()

   Dim MyCollection As New Collection(gb.IgnoreCase)

   ' MyCollection = ["KEY1": "v1"]
   MyCollection.Add("v1", "key1")
   MyCollection.Add("v1", "Key1")
   For Each sValue As String In MyCollection
     Print MyCollection.Key, sValue
   Next

End
[/code]

See the difference?
