Step through the sections in a report

I want to address each section in a report with VBA, which is already open in design mode.
I specifically want to use the For Each code.

What I've got now is

Dim scn As Section
For Each scn In [Reports]![rptProfiles1] ' "rptProfiles1" is the report name
Debug.Print Reports!rptProfiles1.Section(scn).[Name], Reports!rptProfiles1.Section(scn).[Height]
Next

I just cannot get this section one to work.

However, what is working for the same report is

Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Reports!rptProfiles1
Debug.Print ctl.Name, ctl.Height
Next

Please help with the section code

Section is not a collection object but a fixed array. You must determine the max number of valid section objects at design time.

You can then address the a single object using an integer or a predefined constant such as acDetail (0).

Thanks.
I wanted to specifically use

For Each section in report
......
Next

Because I can not get it to work,

But the solution given is neat and easy.

As borki said, to be able to use ' for each section in...' there has to be a Sections collection object. But there is no such collection so you have to use the section array.
