Using the value of a Combo Box as the Table Name in a Query

1
I'm developing a form which will allow the user to select a job name based on an Application Name they select in a Combo box.

The job names will be displayed in either another combo box or a list box (haven't decided yet). I want the values in this list of jobs to be populated by a query along the lines of:

Select JobName
from [Forms]![FormName]![ComboBox]

Is this even possible in Access? Currently when I try the above I get an error saying "Syntax Error in FROM Clause".

All the tables for each application have the same structure.
