Try to look at page 442 to 446 of the mySQL manual, it may give some help
on your field creation using insert & select.

Subject: INSERT SELECT QUESTION
> Hi,
>
> I'm fairly new to MySQL. I'm trying to insert data into a table where
> one field is derived from a SELECT on another table (a key) and the
> other fields are defined directly (eg field_01="abcd") . The formats I
> have been trying don't appear to be correct. Is the commbined insert
> possible or what is the appropriate technique?
>
> thanks in anticipation,
