I have experienced a situation where part of the table name is stored in another table. All the tables in the databases have same prefix but remaining name part concatenates and creates the name of the table. However the nature of the application behaves it stores the suffix of the table name in a separate table. If i need to retrieve data from a table which is stored in another table which has only the suffix , what i did was i concatenated the table prefix and suffix to select out data.
This is how i did it. I used EXEC command to run the select query.

DECLARE @tble varchar(100);
SELECT @tble ='tbl_'+FormName
FROM tbl_FormDATA
WHERE reference = 112852;
