    Thats fine but we all have to learn somewhere and Im guessing you all were not born with the ability to do SQL. I am thinking you too had to learn somewhere.

    No one is blaming you for not knowing SQL. These forums exists exactly for people who need help with SQL.

    However, remember that people here help you in their free time. We are not paid to help you, nor do you pay us. And in order to help you, we are very much reliant on the information you give us.

    And, it is very frustrating when you want to help someone, but the person only says "I still get an error", but do not show us the query, nor the error message.

    As for asking data as INSERT statement and not in Excel book. Sure, I can construct INSERT statements myself. But that's a kind of boring job, and since I do this for free, I rather concentrating on the fun part. And, I will have to admit, I do appreciate when the person asking for help also makes an effort.
