I have a question, I have to add a step into a SQL job agent which needs to be a insert statement to a table from another table. The insert statement is not the issue as you can see below. The purpose of this insert statement is to update table dbo.INV_Items with any new item numbers added to dbo.PartInfo table. I guess my question is is it just a insert statement or do i require a special function. Please let me know what you think. insert into [dbo].[INV_Items](ITEMNMBR) select [Item] as ITEMNMBR FROM [dbo].[PartInfo] |

| you do not need a special function. You can simply add a tsql set to the Asian shop containing your INSERT statement. |
