Sham, if you have four tables with exactly the same structure, and more
planned, something is wrong.
This data probably belongs all in one table, with an extra field to
distinguish whatever has caused you to use different tables. That will be so
much easier to manage to and to work with than separate tables.
If you are determined to go ahead anyway, it would be possible to use the
After Update event procedure of the combo to reassign the RecordSource for
the form. Assuming the combo's RowSource provides a list of valid table
names:
Private Sub MyCombo_AfterUpdate()
If Not IsNull(Me.MyCombo) Then
Me.RecordSource = Me.MyCombo
End If
End Sub

I have a form that is used for entering data. The problem is I have
several tables, so I need some way to change the form's record source
via combo box.
1. How can I make the combo box look for the tables as selections for
the box, so that the user can choose the right table? I have 4 tables
now, but there will be more in the future.
2. What kind of code do I need for the combo box to change record
source for the form (obviously I need to use RecordSource, but how
does it work when using combo box?)
