Benton,

Well, you can use an OpenTable action in a macro, and set the Table Name
argument to the equivalent of...
=[NameOfYourCombobox]

However, I should say that opening a table is something you should be
very cautious about. The general concept is that tables in Access
should be regarded as background storage, and not normally seen in
active database usage. If you need to access the data for
entry/editing/viewing then it is recommended to use a form.
