| Error using nested SELECT statement inside INSERT |

I'm trying to create an entry in the Invoice table for a specific customer and job. The problem I'm experiencing is that I can't prepare the INSERT statement to create the invoice without first knowing both the CustomerRefListID and the CustomerRefFullName. Since the FullName is already known to be of the form "Company Name:Job Name", I would like to use a SELECT statement to obtain the CustomerRefListID given just the FullName:
INSERT INTO Invoice (CustomerRefListID, CustomerRefFullName) VALUES ((SELECT ListID FROM Customer WHERE FullName = 'Company Name:Job Name') , 'Company Name:Job Name')
When I try this query in the VB Demo application, it fails, providing the error message "[QODBC] Expected lexical element not found: <identifier>". I've gotten nested SELECT statements to work:
SELECT * from Invoice WHERE CustomerRefListID = (SELECT ListID FROM Customer WHERE FullName = 'Company Name:Job Name')
but I haven't had any luck getting the SELECT statement to work with an INSERT. Is there a way I can set the CustomerRefListID without knowing the exact ListID string, such as with only the known value of CustomerRefFullName? |

| You don't need to state both the CustomerRefListID and the CustomerRefFullName. It's either one, not both. You also cannot insert into the Invoice table unless it's part of a transaction. See: How do I create Invoices? |

| Using only the CustomerRefFullName field works. Thanks, Tom! |
