QUERY TO ADD RECORDS TO A TABLE

    HI,

    I run a case management database which holds records for clients that my company works with. (MS SQL 2000 Server back end MS Access XP front End).

    The database has a client table which holds all the details about the clients we work with there is also a table which holds case notes for each of the clients. I want to add a specific note to a particular list of clients which I have produced as a select query this has then been imported into a new table on which the update will be based.

    In short I want all the clients mentioned in this temporary table to have a case note automatically entered for them into the notes table.

    Any help with this would be great.

    Cheers,

    Neall

    Start by looking up "INSERT" in BOL.

    typically, to insert multiple rows, you use a select statement to insert the data.

    a simple example might be:

    INSERT INTO SOMETABLE(ID,NOTES)

    SELECT

    CustomerId,

    'This is a default note that you need to pay for your account by friday'

     From #Temp

    Where paymentmade <> 1
