I want to run an appendquery in an afterUpdate event procedure using code
builder is this possible? and what should the syntax look like?

hi.
generally something like this:
INSERT INTO tablename(field1, field2,field3)
Select tablename.field1, tablename.field2, tablename.field3
FROM tablename
WHERE some criteria (if needed)
GROUP BY Field1

but you cant use code builder to write this. this is the
SQL behind querys. click the query tab in the database
window. create a new query. then click view>SQL. you will
see something like the above.
Code builder is where you write code to call queries.

At its simplest ...

CurrentDb.Execute "NameOfYourQueryHere", dbFailOnError

There could be more to do if, for example, the query requires parameters.
