Hi

I'm not sure why I'm getting this error

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 10
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DELETE'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 16
Incorrect syntax near ')'.

INSERT dbo.CustomersInactive (
CustomerID,
FirstName,
LastName
) SELECT
CustomerID,
FirstName,
Lastname
FROM (
DELETE dbo.CustomersActive
OUTPUT
DELETED.CustomerID,
DELETED.FirstName,
DELETED.LastName
WHERE CustomerID IN ( 1001, 1003, 1005 )
) AS RowsToMove

SELECT * FROM dbo.CustomersActive
SELECT * FROM dbo.CustomersInactive
