>>>Hi everybody,

>>>By some UT member request I'm writing code and got stumped on some thought, which I'm a little bit lazy to create a test, so I hope that somebody can answer the question directly. The ADBOBJECS() function returns table names if used with "Table" parameter. What does it mean table names? Can the name of the table be different than the actual filename? I probably asked that question before but how can we find out the whole filename of the given table without opening it? Though if I want to use LUPDATE() I would need to open that table. Or is there a way to also get last modification date without opening a table?

W/o opening the table? No way as I said before if you mean including lowlevel opens (or don't know headersize,recsize beforehand). If you're allowed to open lowlevel reccount is stored in byte offsets 4-7 and is reliable as reccount() - it reads you from there.
If you know header(),recsize() beforehand:
nRecs = (FileSize-headersize)/recsize

PS: nRecs = (FileSize-headersize)/recsize
is more reliable than reccount()
