An entire description of the SQL language would and does fill books. As a simple example for inserting a new record into a database, the syntax is INSERT table_name (col_name, col_name,...) VALUES (expr, expr,...). For example INSERT testresults (result1, result2) VALUES (1.35, 1.56). You might want to do a google search for a SQL tutorial. Also, Access has a SQL View tool that shows the SQL commands for queries that are designed in Access.
