Sorry Joseph, you must've missed my next post minutes later. I had the limit option accidentally set in MySQL-Front and the newly inserted records weren't appearing.
Another question though, I continued testing this and found that if I use MSAccess as the front end to the MySQLserver the command fails. Access produces an error that claims it's expecting the statement to end after the first records data. Is there anyway to get around this apparent limitation? - Thanks >>> Joseph Bueno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/1/2002 1:48:05 PM >>> If you don't have any error message, what make you think it doesn't work? FYI, I have run the following commands from mysql client: mysql> use test Database changed mysql> create table Table1 (Id int not null auto_increment primary key, Product varchar(80), Qty int); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> Insert Into Table1 (Product, Qty) Values ("56-56", 5), ("27-01", 1), ("15-02", 2); Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec) Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> select * from Table1; +----+---------+------+ | Id | Product | Qty | +----+---------+------+ | 1 | 56-56 | 5 | | 2 | 27-01 | 1 | | 3 | 15-02 | 2 | +----+---------+------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) It really seems to work ;) Regards, Joseph Bueno Ed Reed wrote: > I created a new table called Table1 and did a test with that command.
