EXEC with Table variables

I created a dynamic sql statement that has a table variable in it. This returns and error that states I must declare the variable.


DECLARE @tbl Table 
	(fld1 char(10))

exec ('SELECT * from ' + @tbl)
-------
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 4
Must declare the variable '@tbl'.
[\code]

I looked in BOL and found that the EXEC statement doesn't work well with variables until you use the SET command.  This is BOL's example.

[code] 
USE Northwind
GO
DECLARE @mycol nvarchar(20)
SET @mycol = 'ContactName'
EXECUTE ('SELECT ' + @mycol + ' FROM Customers')

Any chance table variables will work in a dynamic SQL statement like the one above.

Thanks
