Changing Table Names

I am writing a program that sends a paradox 7 table as a tcp/ip stream from
a server app to a client app.  Since I don't know what the name of the
table is, I save it as 'temp.db'.  When I go to open it, I get an error
telling me that the table is corrupt.  I am assuming that this is because I
changed the filename.

Is there a way to peek at the header of a .DB file to determine what the
filename is?

Is there a way to change the name of a table (without a database pointer)
with an API call or something?

Thanks,

Tom

The table header does not store the table name so that is not your problem.
