setting a recordset name for access report at run time

[maggie gallotti]

I create a table that has its name and data based on user input. For example, if a person selects "shipping" , I might have a table called "shipping". How do I set the recordsource in vb so that the Access report is based on the correct table ?

thanks in advance!!!

You can create a number of reports based on each table and then use Select case

Select Case txtTableName
Case "Table1"
Call Report1
Case "Table2"
Call Report2
etc...
End Select

If you need to know how to call report from Access, let me know

Thank you Iouri. I guess I can't have one report that uses different tables as input.
Thanks again.
