The example below gives a quick tweak:

\begin{table}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{*{3}{|c}|}
      \hline
      1 & 2 & 3\\
      \hline
      4 & 5 & 6\\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{First Table}
  \end{center}
\end{table}


\begin{table}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{*{3}{|c}|}
      \hline
      1 & 2 & 3\\
      \hline
      4 & 5 & 6\\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{table}(a)}
    \caption{Second table (a)}
  \end{center}
\end{table}


\begin{table}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{*{3}{|c}|}
      \hline
      1 & 2 & 3\\
      \hline
      4 & 5 & 6\\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \addtocounter{table}{-1}
    \renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{table}(b)}
    \caption{Second Table (b)}
  \end{center}
\end{table}


\begin{table}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{*{3}{|c}|}
      \hline
      1 & 2 & 3\\
      \hline
      4 & 5 & 6\\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{Third Table}
  \end{center}
\end{table}

If you routinely require such sub-numbering, it'd be better to have a look 
at the "subfloat" package.

By the way, your mail had the entire previous mail and its reply trailing
behind, and it is not at all relevant to the present question. May I ask
you to trim your mails off all irrelevant material, by way of courtsey to
the recepients?
