The var query = table.Where(....).Select(...) is the correct move as it allows reflection for the query builder at runtime. However, t.AccountID is an error because of the type of t remains unknown.

I've previously used a similar approach in LINQ to SQL, using System.Linq.Expressions.Expression, e.g.:

    // NOT TESTED
    var table=context.GetTable(dynamicTableName);
    var theT=table.Experssion; // actually, I forget. DynamicExpression  or MemberBinding? or
    var theField=Expression.Field(theT, "AccountID"); // or dynamic name
    var query=table.Where(Expression.Equal(theField, accID);
    var recList=query.ToList
