I have a fex that we run every quarter that I would like to append the data into a table in MSSQL at the end of every quarter. I've created tables in MSSQL using a permanent hold file but never tried appending data in an already existing table. Anyone know the correct syntax to do this?

If you use sql passthru, you just insert the new records using the insert command. If that doesn't work for your situation, could you provide more details?

-EDIT: If the users are entering data on a form, it will be easy to use those variables in a sql passthru statement. If you are running a report and expect that output to be inserted, you could read the results into variables and then call a sql passthru statement, but there may be a better way to do that.

Thanks
J

Yes, I had planned on using either a SQL passthru or a modify command to append the data.

So, for example, if I have a focus table with 100 rows in it, can I just use a SQL passthru with a standard SQL insert command to append those 100 rows into the MSSQL table?
