I don't see why this wouldn't be possible. You would just use the table
name selected from the list box in constructing the query string you use
in your mysql_query.
Ex.
I select 'SomeTable' from a list box called 'list' and hit the Submit
button. Another page is called, in which is a line like this:
$list = $_POST['list'];
You code says:
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".$list;
Then you issue
$result = mysql_query($query, $link2DB) or die ("Could not access table
$list:".mysql_error());
or whatever you want...
