VBA looping

I'm new to Access and VBA want I'm doing is drawing 8 boxes on a report and would like to know if I can use looping to create the code below to shorten it up:

Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)

Nevermind I found the answer:

Dim page_start_left(8) As Integer
Dim Q(8) as string
Q(1) = "Q1text"
Q(2) = "Q7text"
...
For I = 1 to 8
page_start_left(I).Left = me.controls(Q(I)).Left
...
next I
