You've more or less posted the answer. The method to use would be: INSERT INTO tblContactAddress(contactID,addressTypeID,address1, etc.) SELECT #contactIDValue#, ID, '#address1Value#',etc. FROM tblAddressType WHERE typename = 'General'
Just make sure typename = 'General' will only return one value or it will insert those values each time it finds 'General' in tblAddressType (i.e. if you have 3 typename = 'General' it will insert 3 records) >I'm making life harder on myself than I need to.
