How to insert multiple rows in one click

Hi
I am using ASP.Net 2.0 code behind VB and SQL Server 2000. My problem is I want to insert multiple rows in one click.  When I am trying to insert it will give me error like The name CQ is not permitted in this context.... My code is 
        Dim CQ As String = Request("CommentsAfterQuestion")
        Dim CID As Integer = Request("drpDLforCentreName")
        Dim q12 As Integer = Request("q12")
        Dim q13 As Integer = Request("q13")
        Dim CD As String = Request("txtCallDate ")

Dim strCon As New SqlConnection("Data Source=d; Initial Catalog=NSQL; Integrated Security=True;")
        Dim strCMD As New SqlCommand
        strCon.Open()
        Dim strSQL As String = ""
  strSQL = "Insert into QuestionDetails (SurveyTypeID,    CommentsAfterQuestion, CentreID, CentreScore, EnquiryDate, QCat) " & _
                 "Values (1, CQ, CID, q12, CD, 6), " & _
                 "(1, CQ, CID, q13, CD, 7)"
        Try
            strCMD = New SqlCommand(strSQL, strCon)
            strCMD.ExecuteNonQuery()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Response.Write(ex.ToString)
        End Try
Please anyone help me how can I insert multiple rows.
Thanks in advance

You'll need a small adjustment, because the following query will work:
Insert into QuestionDetails (SurveyTypeID, CommentsAfterQuestion, CentreID, CentreScore, EnquiryDate, QCat)
select 1, 'comments', 401, 8, '12/05/2009', 6
union all
 select 1, 'comments', 401,8, '12/05/2009', 7

In code:
strSQL = "Insert into QuestionDetails (SurveyTypeID, CommentsAfterQuestion, CentreID, CentreScore, EnquiryDate, QCat) " & _
"select 1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & ", " & q12 & ", '" & CD & "', 6 " & _
" union all select 1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & "," & q13 & ", '" & CD & "', 7"

You don't insert the values of your strings, but you insert "CQ" as string

strSQL = "Insert into QuestionDetails (SurveyTypeID,    CommentsAfterQuestion, CentreID, CentreScore, EnquiryDate, QCat) " & _
                 "Values (1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & ", " & q12 & ", '" & CD & "', 6), " & _
                 "(1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & "," & q13 & ", '" & CD & "', 7)"

Can you print the value of strSQL after you filled it (before your try)

I think you have forgotten single quotes for your string-values

strSQL = "Insert into QuestionDetails (SurveyTypeID, CommentsAfterQuestion, CentreID, CentreScore, EnquiryDate, QCat) " & _
                    "Values (1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & ", " & q12 & ", '" & CD & "', 6) , " & _
                    "(1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & "," & q13 & ", '" & CD & "', 7)"

What version of sql are you using.
For sql2000/2005 try the following:
strSQL = "Insert into QuestionDetails (SurveyTypeID, CommentsAfterQuestion, CentreID, CentreScore, EnquiryDate, QCat) " & _
"select (1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & ", " & q12 & ", '" & CD & "', 6) , " & _
" union all select (1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & "," & q13 & ", '" & CD & "', 7)"

For sql2008, try the following:
strSQL = "Insert into QuestionDetails (SurveyTypeID, CommentsAfterQuestion, CentreID, CentreScore, EnquiryDate, QCat) " & _
"values (1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & ", " & q12 & ", '" & CD & "', 6) , " & _
"values (1, '" & CQ & "', " & CID & "," & q13 & ", '" & CD & "', 7)"
