Hello,

I can not save my following append query, with the error message " Syntax
error on INSERT INTO statement.

I presume because I wrongly name my field " Region Name_E" with space. How
can I remedy this, my church database already go live, how ever I want to
make kind of an append query for update when there is a consolidation.

Thanks for any help,

Frank

INSERT INTO tblRegions ( RegionID,Region Name_E, Region Name_L, RAddress1,
RAddress2, Rcity, Rregion, RpostalCode, RCountry, RPhone, RFax, RemailAddress)
SELECT a.RegionID, a.Region Nam_E, a.Region Name_L, a.RAddress1,
a.RAddress2, a.Rcity, a.Rregion, a.RpostalCode, a.RCountry, a.RPhone, a.RFax,
a.RemailAddress
FROM [C:\Churchdata\Churchdataconso\BkEnd\Hahomion_be.mdb].tblRegions AS a
WHERE (((Exists (SELECT *
FROM tblRegions
WHERE tblRegions.RegionID = a.RegionID))=False));

Thanks Dale, since I have a button for running an append query, I think I
would prefer to use append query.

Thanks for your help.

Frank,

Whenever you have a space in a table or field name, you must wrap it in
brackets [ ].

I also think it will probably be more efficient to use an Outer Join to
identify the regions that don't already exist in the table you are trying to
insert into.

So, try:

INSERT INTO tblRegions (RegionID,[Region Name_E], [Region Name_L],
RAddress1, RAddress2, Rcity, Rregion,
RpostalCode, RCountry, RPhone, RFax,
RemailAddress)
SELECT a.RegionID, a.[Region Nam_E], a.[Region Name_L], a.RAddress1,
a.RAddress2, a.Rcity, a.Rregion, a.RpostalCode, a.RCountry,
a.RPhone, a.RFax, a.RemailAddress
FROM tblRegions IN "C:\Churchdata\Churchdataconso\BkEnd\Hahomion_be.mdb" AS a
LEFT JOIN tblRegions
ON a.RegionID = tblRegions.RegionID
WHERE tblRegions.RegionID IS NULL
