This should be in the Database section.

You are going to need a recordset object, and that depends on which version of Access you are running, and whether you are using ADO or DAO.

I'd personally stay away from DoCmd.Run... as its naff

There are loads of tutorials out and about, so have a search first, then post up in the db section when you have a problem with Access.

So your saying that you want to have the user make a selection
in the combo and click a button to execute the query. Then put
the results into variables and add those values to a new record
in a table.

Use ADO in a module. Will be very very similar to VB. Then you
can execute the query and insert into. No DoCmd or macros.
Have the ADO connectionstring connect to the database its in.
Then open a recordset with the sql statement being passed. Then
execute from the connection object the insert into statement.

Good suggestion is to search the database forum for examples.
