Default How do I allow the user to select the record source of a form from multiple tables?

Hi,

My boss asked me to build a database of embedded images of houses. I
tried to put them all in one table then quickly realized that I would
exceed the size limitation of the database. I suggested links but he
wants embedded images.

So, I created a new database and table for each house and linked those
tables to a main database with a form for photo entries. However, I
would like the user to open the form and be prompted to select which
table of photos he or she would like to edit or add to using the one
form.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I would also like to create a single query that opens and asks the
user for which record source he or she would like. Hopefully, that will
allow me to build a report based on that query that will print the
photos for a specific house address entered by the user.

Thanks in advance for any help.
