SQL Server INSERT ... SELECT Statement won't parse
- by Jim Barnett
I am getting the following error message with SQL Server 2005
  Msg 120, Level 15, State 1, Procedure usp_AttributeActivitiesForDateRange, Line 18
  The select list for the INSERT statement contains fewer items than the insert list. The number of SELECT values must match the number of INSERT columns.
I have copy and pasted the select list and insert list into excel and verified there are the same number of items in each list.  Both tables an additional primary key field with is not listed in either the insert statement or select list.  I am not sure if that is relevant, but suspicious it may be.  Here is the source for my stored procedure:

    @dtmTo DATETIME

    SET @dtmToWithTime = DATEADD(hh, 23, DATEADD(mi, 59, DATEADD(s, 59, @dtmTo)));
