Hmmm - again, this doesn't sounds too convincing for the initial problem: the tables do not appear at all (though it might prove that it's impossible to open those tables later on). For obtaining the table list, Base simply traverses the directory, takes all .dbf files it finds, strips the extensions, and assumes this is a dBase table. No magic involved at this point.
