Please help a dummy! :-)

I was just wondering. Assume I have a variable, in which I store a table name (the name of the variable is X). I store the table name 'Mytable' in X. Is it possible to write, say, a select statement using the varible X to get the contents of the table 'Mytable'? I do not want to use dynamic sql. The question is: Is it possible to have sql interpret the variable name by its contents and not by its name.
Grateful for any help
