If you modify the quick and dirty solution in my previous post to the
following, it will be much more elegant:

\usepackage{subfloat}

\begin{subtables}

 \begin{table}
 \caption{Whatever}
 \begin{tabular}{lcr}
 ...
 \end{tabular}
 \end{table}

 \clearpage

 \begin{table}
 \caption{Whatever}
 \begin{tabular}{lcr}
 ...
 \end{tabular}
 \end{table}

 \clearpage

 \begin{table}
 \caption{Whatever}
 \begin{tabular}{lcr}
 ...
 \end{tabular}
 \end{table}

 \clearpage

 \begin{table}
 \caption{Whatever}
 \begin{tabular}{lcr}
 ...
 \end{tabular}
 \end{table}

\end{subtables}

This might be what you are looking for.

 Happy TeXing and best regards
