If I have a database: dbWorkFiles

and I want to determine if one of its tables physically exist I would typically store a common path to the data directory to a variable like 'ddir' and then do:

IF FILE (ddir+'mytable.dbf')

However, if I do not know exactly where the tables are located - lets say I open them with:

use dbWorkFiles!mytable

then how can I check to see if the table exists or not if I do not know where they are located? Is that possible? It could be a part of the database but not physically exist...
