Access does not have control arrays.

Create a command button and set all its properties as
desired. Then use Copy and Paste it 19 times. Drag a
selection box around a set of them and set their Top or Left
property. Then select each one in turn and set it's name
property to somsthing like cmd1, cmd2, etc. You can then
refer to the Nth button using the syntax:
Me("cmd" & N)

I just did this over the weekend. I am using an existing form and
opening it in design mode and then adding the controls based on data in
a table. You can also use CreateForm to start with a new form.

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmPanelRightTemplate", acDesign, , , , acHidden
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qryRightPanelFastener")
'For each Right Panel fastener add a command button and set
properties

rs.MoveFirst
DoCmd.SetWarnings (off)
Do While Not rs.EOF

Set ctl = CreateControl("frmPanelRightTemplate",
acCommandButton, , , , rs![FastenerXCoordinate] * 1440,
rs![FastenerYCoordinate] * 1440)
ctl.Caption = rs![FastenerNumber]
ctl.Height = 0.275 * 1440
ctl.Width = 0.275 * 1440
ctl.FontSize = 7
ctl.TabStop = False
ctl.Name = "cmd" & rs![FastenerNumber]
'ctl.FontWeight = "bold"

rs.MoveNext
Loop

DoCmd.Save
