choose table and display in a form based on user input

Hi,

I am a beginner to MS ACCESS. I have 100+ tickers and each has a table. I would like to retrieve data from a specified table based on user input.
My trials:
I am unable to create a form that will display user selected tables, like i am asked to specify table from where the data should be displayed when a form is created.
would you suggest a VBA code or can it be done with form design? please help me with this issue.

If you have a table for each ticker then your design is fundamentally wrong. You need to look into this basic aspect first. Database Normalisation and Table structures would be a good place to start.
