Hi jeevan shetty

i cant understand ur problem but you can change the tablename or colum name while we select using alias concept
ex: Select columnname as changecolumname from tablename as changetablename
it give result as changecolumname and changetablename

it is not enough to solve ur problem means
can you post ur code where problem arrives

You need to frame the SQL dynamically at run time and pass the table name as an parameter.

Though too late in answering but still ...Since you are writing in Asp.net .cs file, try with

string tblName = "someTblName";
string str = string.Format("Select * From {0} ", tblName);

Hope this will help

hi you can use the table name in the query.
create a string: strtable as string

recordset like: rs1 as recordset

strtable =put the name of the table here dynamically

rs1.open "select * from " & strtable & " where .....;"

try this and let you and i be friends and work together.
