>As I said this is similar code. I am building an abstract object that provides an exposed method for subclasses to poplate an array with table names. However array processing is less than intuitive when a developer is attempting to bind a user interface to the COM object. So I loop through the array and add properties to the COM object named after the tables. Once these properties are created, I use "SCATTER" to create a series of objects. Its these objects that get assigned to the properties. But I digress, the important thing here is I don't know why the properties to appear to exist in the DLL.

I can't tell you why the properties are not showing, or even that AddProperty is supported by DLL's.

You could hide the complexity of the array by using a method in which you passed the table name and then retrieve the object from the array within the method that you had scattered.
