SQL help INSERT and SELECT

How to combine both SELECt and INSERT statement together?
I know the code below is wrong

sql = "SELECT * FROM Orderitem WHERE InvoiceNumber = '" & invoiceid & "'" & " AND ItemNumber = " & itemid
sql = sql & " AND INSERT INTO OrderItem(Quantity) VALUES(" & quantity & ")"

Invoiceid is a string and the rest of the variables are long
Ur help is deeply appreciated. Thanks

Try:

Code:

---

INSERT INTO ...; SELECT ...

---

Use a semicolon to separate the statements? It works on most DBs.

Then use the NextRecordset method of your recordset object to switch to the next recordset returned from that query

Sorry Clunietp, I dun get what u mean. Can u show me the code? Thanks

What Tom means:

Code:

---

Dim rst as Recordset
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("INSERT ...; SELECT ...")
' It has executed both, and is holding results for
' the INSERT query. Time to move on to SELECT:
rst.NextRecordset

Thanks for ur reply parksie. Sorry, I done my code this way
If i put semicolon, an error msg will pop out and tell me there's an extra character, f i dun put, the error msg tells me there's a missing ;

Dim de as demain 'demain is dataenvironment

Set de = New demain

sql = "INSERT INTO OrderItem(Quantity) VALUES(" & quantity & ");"
sql = sql & " SELECT * FROM Orderitem WHERE InvoiceNumber = '" & invoiceid & "'" & " AND ItemNumber = " & itemid

de.conordersys.Open
de.conordersys.Execute sql
de.conordersys.Close

'conordersys is connection

It complains because .Execute queries cannot return a recordset. For that, you'd have to use the Recordset object. What DB interface are you using? (DAO/ADO/RDO/other)
