Writing to a database using SQL ...

I'm using a SELECT statement to get information from a database ... and it works.

NOW ... I can't figure out how to write the data back to the same database ...

HELP!!!!

What database are you using and are you trying to create a new table or update a table or what? More information needed.

If you want to Insert new record to a database use:

Insert Into TableName (Field1, Field2, Field3) Values ('Value1', 2, True)


Where: Field1 is a string(text) data type, Field2 is Integer(number), Field3 is Boolean(YesNo)

If you want to update record in a database:

Update TableName Set Field1 = 'ValueHere', Field2 = False Where Field2 = 2

This will update one ore more records which have Field2 is equal to 2.

Look in the Help. It has many examples on practically all SQL statements.

I'm using an Access database ... what I need to able to do is create another table and populate it with the information I'm selecting.

I have ComboBoxes, being populated with AddNew statements (which comes from a table called Transcripts). I'm doing this with an SQL Select statement .. where StudID is equal to ...whatever .. then the student courses are listed in the ComboBoxes .. Then I need to be able to write what has been selected in the ComboBoxes to a new table (called checksheet) in the database .. I would like to do this with an SQL Statement ...

Any Ideas ?
