Question dynamic/variable database name

Hi guys

I have a trigger which retrieves database names from a table.
I need to use this retrieved database name in another sql insert statement as a variable
e.g. set @mydbname = Select .... from.. (to get the database name)
then..
insert into @mydbname.dbo.emplTable

At the moment it reads @mydbname as the string "@mydbname" not the value the variable holds

I need the database name as a variable because i have to write to the correct database (there are 15)
Any help appreciated

Rowan
