Are you trying to add new data to existing records?

Adrian,

  I am adding four columns to an existing table that already contains four
columns.

If so where is the new data coming from?

  I have a text file and will fill each insert statement by hand if there's
not a more efficient way to do this.

Regards,

Rich
