getting table name from a text box query
 

I have succsessfully made a datebase connection using DAO. now I want to get
data from a specific table of database using table name written in combobox.
what will be a quaery for retriving table name from a combobox or textbox.

example:

rs=db.openrecordset("select * from combobox1.text)"
but its not working

Probably because you are not referencing the control explicitly. That is
the ComboBox or TextBox, if these are on the worksheet refer to them as

Sheets("SheetName").ComboBox1.Value

or UserForm

UserForm1.ComboBox1.Value

I personally would store the control value to variable and refer to that,
also trim the value in case there are spurious spaces in the string!
