append query syntax error

[mafhobb]

Syntax error in this append query. What is it?

        Dim DataToAdd As String
        DataToAdd = "INSERT INTO Address " & _
        "customerId, addressNr, addressType, firstname, lastname, companyName, postalcode, country, workphone, email, notes, streetaddress, city, contactTypeId " & _
        "SELECT customerId, addressNr, addressType, firstname, lastname, companyName, postalcode, country, workphone, email, notes, streetaddress, city, contactTypeId " & _
        "FROM Customer WHERE ((Customer.function)=ADD);"
        Debug.Print DataToAdd
        CurrentDb.Execute DataToAdd, dbFailOnError

I am trying to append data from the query into the table where the value on function field in the query is equal to the word ADD

You don't have the insert syntax correct - see http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert.asp for help

I am just trying to write in code this SQL query

INSERT INTO Address ( customerId, addressNr, addressType, firstname, lastname, companyName, postalcode, country, workphone, email, notes, streetaddress, city, contactTypeId )
SELECT Customer.customerId, Customer.addressNr, Customer.addressType, Customer.firstname, Customer.lastname, Customer.companyName, Customer.postalcode, Customer.country, Customer.workphone, Customer.email, Customer.notes, Customer.streetaddress, Customer.city, Customer.contactTypeId
FROM Customer
WHERE (((Customer.function)="INSERT"));

Which works just fine

There should be 14 fields on each statement. Is there something written wrong?

Isn't the syntax supposed to be

INSERT INTO tablename (field1, field2 etc)
VALUES (Value1, value2 etc)
WHERE criteria goes here

?

This works:

        CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Address ( customerId, addressNr, addressType, firstname, lastname, companyName, postalcode, country, workphone, email, notes, streetaddress, city, contactTypeId )" & _
        "SELECT Customer.customerId, Customer.addressNr, Customer.addressType, Customer.firstname, Customer.lastname, Customer.companyName, Customer.postalcode, Customer.country, Customer.workphone, Customer.email, Customer.notes, Customer.streetaddress, Customer.city, Customer.contactTypeId " & _
        "FROM Customer " & _
        "WHERE (Customer.function='ADD');"
