After converting sql database, tables name are different

I had an MSDE backup, and restored it into a 2005 SQL express database,

Now when i look at the tables in SQL Server Management Studio, they all look like this.

dbo.FA41100
dbo.FA00500
dbo.AF50001
dbo.BM30100

etc
etc

I am not sure why this is, but unless i export out each table into excel, I don't know what table it is from, i.e. GL Entry Table, Sales Invoice table, etc.

Is there a data dictionary, or something out there to help me decipher these new table names?

Thanks

    That really doesn't sound like a Navision DB.
    Are there any tables with a "$" in the name?
    Are there any application roles?
    How many tables are there?

    To be blunt, if it was a Navision DB it's fucked now.

    This was a MSDE GP Database.

    The software was Small Business Finanacials, which is GP based, running with MSDE.

    I got a backup file, and restored it into SQL 2005 express.
