Help INSERT INTO query

Sorry for x-post. Using Access 2000, what is wrong with this syntax?

INSERT INTO Activity (
IDType, ID, ProjectID, ComponentID, SubComponentID, ProcessDate )
VALUES (
'Employee', SELECT EmployeeID FROM tbl1104Mess , 6, 28,341, #11/02/04#
)

The desired result is to place 1 record into Activity for each 1 record in
tbl1104Mess.
With all the literal values and the EmployeeID from tbl1104Mess. I get an
error when I execute this statement. Thanks for any feedback.

Regards,
Chris

Uh...the problem is you can't have a query in your values list like you do.

Try:

INSERT INTO Activity (IDType, ID, ProjectID, ComponentID,
SubComponentID, ProcessDate )
SELECT 'Employee', EmployeeID, 6, 28, 341, #11/02/04#
FROM tbl1104Mess

Also, I don't know Access formatting but I'd recommend putting your date
into a more standard format. Is that November 2nd or February 11th?

Nevermind, I figured it out, I just built it this way

INSERT INTO Activity(IDType, ID, ProjectID, ComponentID, SubComponentID,
ProcessDate)
SELECT "Employee" as IDType, EmployeeID as ID, "6" as ProjectID, "28" as
ComponentID,
"341" as SubComponentID, "11/02/04" as ProcessDate FROM
tbl1104Mess

That had the desired result. Thanks for reading!!!
