Creating a Temp Table in MS Access
Amazing Experts!
I'm stuck. I combined a bunch of tables into a union query and am trying to dump that query back into a table so I can add a checkbox field and make the query "editable" so to speak. The problem is that the query has 5000+ records, but when I run the code, I only end up with 200+ records in the blank table. I'm not getting an error message and I back checked that my blank table has the correct amount of fields. (Note: I can't upload the database since it is client confidential, but I can generalize the content.)
I used this vba/SQL code in the OnLoad event of the form:
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO TBL_Blank (Field1, Field2, Field3 ...)
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 ... FROM QRY_CombinedRecords;", dbFailOnError
Should I be using DAO.Database (see mwolfe02 response)?
http://stackoverflow.com/q
or recordset (see Gord Thompson response).
I'm not sure why it doesn't just copy the 5,000+ records in the query and pastes them in the blank table I set up.
Any ideas?

does your temporary table have a primary key or unique index values? Generally, the dbFailOnError syntax will ensure you get an error message if the entire recordset cannot be appended to the table.
Does the SELECT query contain more than one field which is a primary key (autonumber) field? Is the corresponding field in the temp table an autonumber or Long Integer (it should be a long integer).

Why don't you make a passthrough query to select the records and use Access Query Designer to create a "Make Table Query" ...if something is wrong it should popup
Instead of creating the temp table from scratch, you could create it (ensuring that all fields are of the correct data type, which is not guaranteed with a make-table query), and fill it from code. Of course, clear it first with a SQL statement like this:
strSQL = "DELETE * FROM tblOrderData_Temp"
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL
OR
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError
