For some reason the Insert Select statement returned an ERROR and I had to resort to
INSERT INTO Products (ProductName,Size,SuggestedRetailPrice,ProductCategory,ManufacturerName) SELECT * FROM kalproduct ; Is there a noticeable reason why: INSERT INTO Products (ProductName,Size,SuggestedRetailPrice,ProductCategory,ManufacturerName) SELECT(kalproduct.Product, kalproduct.size, kalproduct.SRP, kalproduct.Cat, kalproduct.manname) FROM kalproduct ; would have returned an error message?? I don't want to have to create multiple tables for the purpose of inserting into others. -----Original Message----- From: John W.
