Although this does seem as a straightforward case for the use of a collection (i.e. for once I'm voting with the majority :), you can still use simple properties. Just make sure they all exist:

for i=1 to n
   goapp.addproperty("mymetatbl"+alltrim(str(i)), "")
endfor

then later you can simply retrieve the value of the property even if you have the name of it in a variable:

lcMeta=getpem(goapp, lcWhichMeta)

...which is poor man's collection :).
