Tracy,
I'm not sure I follow it right, anyway:

select cServer as pServername from myTable into cursor myServers nofilter
oApp.AddProperty( "loConn["+ltrim(str(reccount()))+"]" )
scan
 oApp.loConn[ recno() ] = CREATEOBJECT('ConnClass.ConnObj') && Create an object
 oApp.loConn[ recno() ].pservername = trim(pServername)
endscan
