I have a template drawing that has a Draftsight Table in it. I want to access the table and modify the cell text but I need to get the Table "handle" in order to do that. Does anyone know of a way to get the table handle?

So far, I have determined:

1) within Draftsight, the properties dialog doesn't tell you what the handle is and I can't find any command that will provide this info. The old legacy HANDLE command just tells you it has a handle.

2) I can't figure out a set of VBA commands that will provide the handle (or any other info) about pre-existing tables within a document. Tables don't have any type of "Name" so unless you know the handle, there is no way to gain access to the object that I can find.

3) I can't find any type of text editor that will let me read the DWG file directly, so I can puzzle out the handle. My go-to is Notepad++, but I couldn't find any type of decoder that allows me to decipher the raw file.

I would prefer not to have to build the entire table within VBA and place it into the drawing just so I would have established connection to the table and could edit it. (That's the PITA method that I'll have to fall back on if there isn't another way but it doesn't allow me to create a simple subroutine I can use where ever I have a template table I need to connect to)

Any insight is appreciated.
