Using the Union

[farriswheel]

Hello All,
I'm having trouble using a union function with "insert into" function.
Maybe what I'm trying to do is not possible
Thanx for the help!

INSERT INTO [temp order_tbl] ( [part no], [part type], cost)
SELECT [model no], productdescription, unitprice
FROM model_tbl
WHERE [model no] = (forms![main_frm]![computer_lbx].Value)

UNION

INSERT INTO [temp order_tbl] ( [part no], [part type], cost)
SELECT [display no], productdescription, unitprice
FROM display_tbl
WHERE [display no] = (forms![display_frm]![displayList_lbx].Value);

Try this:

INSERT INTO [temp order_tbl] ( [part no], [part type], cost)
SELECT [model no], productdescription, unitprice
FROM model_tbl
WHERE [model no] = (forms![main_frm]![computer_lbx].Value)
UNION
SELECT [display no], productdescription, unitprice
FROM display_tbl
WHERE [display no] = (forms![display_frm]![displayList_lbx].Value);

I'm really curious about this. If you insert into a UNION query, how does Access know which of the "unioned" tables to put the record into?

You can't insert into a UNION.

We're trying to Insert into a table the results of a UNION.

Ah! Sorry about that, I muddled up the syntax. Guess I need to study up on my SQL - no real surprise there.

No need to be sorry

I still mess up badly on SQL sometimes. It can be a nightmare of logic.
