If you use this naming convention, then you can do the following:

FOR i=1 to 4
  STORE <i>something to store</i> TO ('thisform.txtBox'+ALLTRIM(STR(i))+'.Value')
ENDFOR

Obviously, the names of the controls have to be formable in this fashion. The STORE...TO... syntax is needed to permit the use of name substitution for the target name, otherwise, you need to macro-expand the name, something like:

cThisName = 'thisform.txtbox' + ALLTRIM(STR(i))+'.Value'
&cThisName = whatever
