I've been experimenting with this recently. Here it goes: when you open the table the first time, you can get its name either from the OpenDialog or the SaveDialog component. I found this via a ComponentList, but I believe this issue has been discussed @CEF already in the past as well. (if needed, i'm sure I can find that/those topic(s) back)
The problem: as long as you do not attach (openProcess) an exe, that info remains in tact. But once the exe (andwhatnot) is loaded, it gets overwritten by the exe's (short)name.

This is more of a personal request, then for endusers (although I'm aware about gamers playing with 2-3 tables attached at the same time, believe you me)
Anyways: I tend to compare with other tables (and copy/paste stuff) at the same time. Or "missed" something out, thus reloading a prev version of that table. bottomline: when uncertain, I tend to create new copies of these tables in order to figure out which one I really did change/need.

Some additional research: if I check up the CE exe (which has my table loaded) with another CE session, I can easily find 7 (+?) instances of my tablename in memory. Problem is, that I have no idea atm on how to access that info via my "initial" CE session (the one with the table loaded).

Something similar as 'process' var perhaps ?

ok, tried out several approaches; and this seems to do the trick. Bizar fact, eliminating any of the 'getTable()' calls (see code below) would evt fail collecting/keeping that info... also: keep the var global.
