Sub InsertQuery_UsingValuesOnly()
Call CurrentDb.Execute("INSERT INTO DestinationTable (TableField1, TableField2) VALUES (""something1"", ""something2"");")
End Sub
Sub InsertQuery_UsingSQLOnly()
Call CurrentDb.Execute("INSERT INTO DestinationTable (TableField1, TableField2) SELECT ExistingInformation.Existing1, ExistingInformation.Existing2 FROM ExistingInformation;")
End Sub
