sp-msforeachtable

I know that sp_msforeachtable allows to perform queries on all tables. I have 100 tables and I want to perform the same query on 97 tables.

WHERE EMP_CODE="HO081" END END ' I hope my intensions are clear, I just want to select only those tables where the column EMP_CODE is present and in those tables I want to select those rows where EMP_CODE=
