Changing CakePHP's Model useTable on the Fly

I finally found an answer to/solution to something I've never been able to get around in CakePHP before: dynamically changing/setting the useTable value in a model. You can't just say $this->CakePHPModel->useTable = 'cakephp_table_name'; Instead you have to use the following function:
Setting CakePHP Model useTable Dynamically
- $this->CakePHPModelName->setSource('table_name');
Thanks to Give Me Cake for sharing. This will work from the controller or the model. I'm using it to build an all-purpose importer model.
Cheers,
