Query Syntax error

Question

Please help me correct the following query:

SQL = \"insert into tblContract (Empid, Start1, Finish1, Store1, \" & _
                    \"Start2, Finish2, St         


        

Answer 1

You need to re-write your VALUES clause as a SELECT query.

You have seven columns in your INSERT clause and eight in your VALUES clause. From the column names I guess your subquery

select max(testid) FROM tbltesting

is missing a destination. Guessing it may be called starting_testid; also guessing data types (Access database engine ANSI-92 Query Mode syntax):

CREATE PROCEDURE AddContract
(
 :Empid INTEGER, 
 :Start1 DATETIME, 
 :Finish1 DATETIME,
 :Store1 VARCHAR(20), 
 :Start2 DATETIME,
 :Finish2 DATETIME,
 :Store2 VARCHAR(20)
)
AS
insert into tblContract 
( 
 Empid, starting_testid, 
 Start1, Finish1, Store1, 
 Start2, Finish2, Store2
)
SELECT :Empid, max(testid), 
       :Start1, :Finish1, :Store1, 
       :Start2, :Finish2, :Store2
  FROM tbltesting;
