hi,
I am trying to
1)get all the names of a table that match another table
2)while count=0, then I want to insert into another table 'group'
after getting its key.

I am totally lost, can somebody point me in the right direction.

how do I get the individual name so that I can insert into the group
table,
I tried 'select @name=name, that gave no results'.
Thanks

while (SELECT name FROM names WHERE name in (select name from Group)
and status = 'M' )=0
begin
insert into CAll(group_id,name,action) values (@key, name, 'play' )
end

how do i get the individual names to insert into another table ..
