Can anyone tell me the correct syntax for the type convert in a sql
statement?

I need to insert data from one field that's type is varchar into a numeric
field.  The data in the varchar field are numbers.

I get "Error converting data type varchar to numeric" when running:

INSERT INTO table1 (AcquisitionNumber)
SELECT Acquisition
FROM table2

I saw something at devcon that there was a type convert in SQL

INSERT INTO table1 (convert2numeric(AcquisitionNumber))
SELECT Acquisition
FROM table2

Any one know more about this?

Thanks
