Adding Data to a Table

I would like to know how I can automatically add data to a table. Assume a
user can enter a beginning date and an ending date and one other field. I
need to take the dates and the other field and create X records. The X part
is a simple loop, but how do I open a table and insert records into it. The
records I would insert woud consist of Date and the other field name.

Thanks
 
hi
this is code i use to add a new record to one of my tables
it is attached to a button. after user fills in the form,
they click the button and zaps it into the table.
change my fields to your fields and stick it in a loop.
good luck

It may not be necessary to do this - you may well be able to generate
these records simply using a Query.

If you do want to do so anyway, an Append query would be the simplest
approach. What you might want to do is create a small auxiliary table
AllDates, with all the dates you might want to use for the next ten
years (3653 rows? a tiny table). You can generate this table quickly
in Excel using the spreadsheet fill-down capability, and just import
the spreadsheet into a new table.

You can then create a query by putting criteria

BETWEEN [Enter start date:] AND [Enter end date:]

on this field. You may be able to use this query directly, or change
it to an Append query to permanently store the dates.

Thanks! Now it does add records, but does not fillin the information.

Private Sub CreateSchedule_Click()

Dim Evt, Crd, Dy, Mth, Tmcde, Envt As String
Dim Btd, Edt, I As Date
Dim Lgth, BT As Integer
Dim Ddbase As Database
Dim Recset As Recordset
Set Ddbase = CodeDb()


BT = Me!Start
Crd = Me!SUper
'The following creates the unique Event ID based on Dates and Jobs
For I = Me!BDate To Me!EDate
Date = I
Mth = Trim(Str(Month(I)))
Do While Len(Mth) < 2
Mth = "0" + Mth
Loop
Dy = Trim(Str(Day(I)))
Do While Len(Dy) < 2
Dy = "0" + Dy
Loop
Envt = Jobs + "-" + Dy + Mth + "E" + Stime
'The Following will open a databse and create a recordset & Add Records

Set Recset = Ddbase.OpenRecordset("zztempeventslist", dbOpenDynaset)
With Recset
.AddNew
EventID = Envt
EvtDate = Date
SCODE = Me!SUper
.Update
End With
Recset.Close
Next I

End Sub
