The follwoing sql works but I am looking for a better approach for doing this without using:
from tbl1 a
join tbl2 b
on a.id = a.id

INSERT INTO tbl3
a.[id],
b.[id]
[CreatedBy],
[CreatedDate]
select distinct
a.id,
b.id,
1234,
getdate
from tbl1 a
join tbl2 b
on a.id = a.id
where b.ID IN 1,2,3
and a.emailaddress in
select distinct emailname from bulkuserupload

The dataset would be:
id1 id2 createdby createddate
1 1 1234 12/1/2005
1 2 1234 12/1/2005
1 3 1234 12/1/2005
1 1 1234 12/1/2005
1 2 1234 12/1/2005
1 3 1234 12/1/2005

Thanks in advance for you input.

Can you copy-paste the actual code you're using... The above will produce syntax errors.

Oh and while you're doing that, read this: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jeffs/archive/2008/05/13/question-needed-not-answer.aspx

Not sure what you're trying to do the join condition is wrong a.id = a.id. please post correct query or provide some sample data & explain.
