[AccessD] selected table import from another backend

Thanks, this worked perfectly.  I just wanted to also take it one step 
further and have the operator select from several databases, the table 
tblPA.  I used
 DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "c:\eget\easilook cmmi 
quality\easilook back end quality\easilook back end xp quality.mde", 
acTable, "tblPA", "tblPA1"
I just need the database name of "c:\eget\easilook cmmi quality\easilook 
back end quality\easilook back end xp quality.mde" to be selectable between 
several with similar names.  Have an idea how I can do this?

Thanks
John
