Question

I need to do an insert into but for the fields, they come from 2 seperate tables.

Here is a query which does not seem to work:

    insert into @tblfirst (ProgID,ProgDate,Spk,Spkadd)
    values(

    (select ProgID,ProgDate from Prog where ProgSys = '1100),
    (select Spkr,SpkrAdd from Spk where SpkrSys = '201X42')

    )

Not sure if you see anything wrong with the statment.

Answer 1

declare @ProgID int
declare @ProgDate datetime
declare @Spkr varchar(100)
declare @SpkrAdd varchar(100)

select @ProgID = ProgID, @ProgDate = ProgDate
from Prog
where ProgSys = '1100'

select @Spkr = Spkr, @SpkrAdd = SpkrAdd
from Spk
where SpkrSys = '201X42'  

insert into @tblfirst (ProgID,ProgDate,Spk,Spkadd) 
values (@ProgID, @ProgDate, @Spkr, @SpkrAdd)

Disclaimer: I assumed what the datatypes are, but you get the idea. It’s a bit more intuitive and you’ll surely have no problems with this INSERT.
