Currently I have a textbox that will display some text based on the search criteria. The text that is displayed will be the name of a table. Is it possible for me to make it so that if I click on the name of the table in the textbox, it will open the table for me?

    In the click event of the textbox:

    DoCmd.OpenTable Me.MyTextbox
    

    Edit re comment, this is a sketch and will not work if the table name has spaces.

    Private Sub Text0_Click()
        i = Me.Text0.SelStart
        j = InStr(i, Me.Text0, " ")
        k = InStrRev(Me.Text0, " ", i)
        tbl = Mid(Me.Text0, k, j - k)
        DoCmd.OpenTable tbl
    End Sub
    

    Or better, capture the construction in a listbox by row, rather than in a textbox.

    Based on you code sample, you can say:

    Public Sub SearchTables(SearchString As String)
    Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
    Dim sTable As String
    Dim sField As String
    Dim sMsg As String
    sMsg = ""
    For Each tdf In CurrentDb.TableDefs
    
        sTable = tdf.Name
        sField = SearchTable(sTable, SearchString)
        If sField <> vbNullString Then
            sMsg = sMsg & ";" & sTable & ";" & sField
        End If
    Next
    'listbox0
    'Row source type: Value List
    'Column count: 2
    'You will get a two column listbox with table in one column
    'and field in another
    Forms!Search!listbox0.RowSource = Mid(sMsg, 2)
    End Sub
    

    Then in the click event for listbox0:

    Private Sub listbox0_Click()
        DoCmd.OpenTable Me.listbox0
    End Sub
