Insert multiple rows using one insert statement in Access 2010

Question

I want to insert multiple values into an Access 2010 table, but I can\'t seem to find a way.
MySQL had a nice way:

INSERT INTO Production.UnitMeasure
VAL

As marc_s has pointed out, for SQL Server 2008 and later, you can just use table value constructors. For previous versions, you can use insert and select...union all, e.g.:

INSERT INTO Production.UnitMeasure
SELECT N'FT2',N'Square Feet ','20080923' union all
SELECT N'Y',  N'Yards',       '20080923' union all
SELECT N'Y3', N'Cubic Yards', '20080923'

(Specific documentation on Table Value Constructors in SQL Server. I can't find specific separate documentation on row value constructors, but that's what they are)
