Matt,
I cannot see any way to do this in MapBasic (others feel free to prove me
wrong on this).
But I see three different ways to do this. One, write a C DLL that will
return an array or comma separated string of all TAB files in a directory.
Your MB program can then loop though the results and open the tables.
Second, create a VB app that MB can call via DDE that does the same thing.
Third, write your app in VB using integrated mapping instead. This is what I
do and I haven't written a straight MB program in over 4 years.
