| [code]SELECT ID1, ID2, GetDate() as BudgetDateinto tblbFROM tblA[/code]or if table exists[code]INSERT INTO tblB(ID1, ID2, BudgetDate)SELECT ID1, ID2, GetDate() as BudgetDate FROM tblA[/code] |

| hmm...that doesn't work because it tries to create tblB and tblB already exists. I basically want to get all the rows from tblA and insert them into tblB. |

| Put that query in Export/Import wizard instead for faster insert. |
