i have an orders table and i am tryin to insert these orders into a history table at the end of each day. i'm using an insert select statement.

this is working fine but was wondering how i would enter that days date in a new column in history table for each of those orders so i can tell when order was made???

any help would be great.

Well put a date/time column in your database, then your insert query should be something like:

([date]) VALUES ('" & now() & "')

INSERT INTO orders_history (ProductID, ProductName, Price, CardNumber, CardType, Expires) SELECT productid, productname, price, cardnumber, cardtype, expires  FROM orders

my insert statement is like this so is there a way of using the values clause as well as the select clause in an insert statement??

INSERT INTO orders_history (ProductID, ProductName, Price, CardNumber, CardType, Expires, [datefield]) SELECT productid, productname, price, cardnumber, cardtype, expires, [datefunction] FROM orders

[datefield] is the field that you want the date value in
[datefunction] is the date function (Now() for Access; getdate() for SQL Server)

You could also set the defautl value for the [datefield] with the [datefunction] so that when a new value is entered into the table the value is already present.
