ok... here is an example of what im trying to do:

MyTable = { }

local TableName = "MyTable"
table.insert(TableName, { "test" } )

is there a way to convert a string variable to a type that can be called as a table.  because i keep getting this error:

attempt to index local 'TableName' (a string value)

 TIA

MyTable = { }

local TableName = "MyTable"

MyTable[TableName] = {[0] = "test1", [1] = "test2"}

I better mention why the above doesnt work:

Syntax for table.insert:

*** table.insert(Table, Variable)

Table is the table to insert Variable to
Variable is the variable to insert into Table

So your example should be:

tMyTable = { }

local tTableToInsert = {[0] = "test"}

table.insert(tMyTable, tTableToInsert)

thanks so much for the great explanation... after using your suggestion everything works.  thx again.
