Something like (Starting from (0,0) and have 3 buttons at a row:

lnTop = 0
lnLeft = 0
FOR i = 1 TO 80
    lcButtonName = 'cmd'+ALLTRIM(STR(i))
    thisform.AddObject(m.lcButtonName,'commandbutton')
    with evaluate('thisform.' + m.c)
         .Top     = m.lnTop
         .Left    = m.lnLeft
         IF i % 3 == 0
            lnTop  = lnTop + .Height + 1
            lnLeft = 0
         ELSE
            lnLeft = lnLeft + .Width + 2
         ENDIF
         .visible = .t.
    endwith
next

Not tested :-)
