Using array's numeric contents as counters in nested For loops

Hi guys, I need a large number of nested loops and instead of using many variables as a counter for each, I thought of using an array of integers and have each of its positions as a counter for each loop. However I get the "For control variable already in use" message. Is there a way around it?

For IndexCursor(1) = 1 To DataDimensions(1)
For IndexCursor(2) = 1 To DataDimensions(2)
For IndexCursor(3) = 1 To DataDimensions(3)

Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(CurrentLine, 1) = Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(IndexCursor(1), 1)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(CurrentLine, 2) = Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(IndexCursor(2), 2)
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(CurrentLine, 3) = Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(IndexCursor(3), 3)


CurrentLine = CurrentLine + 1

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
I'm fairly certain that the control variable of a For..Next loop must be a scalar variable - so not an array. Good thinking though.
