Hi, I have this query that is updating a table1.Table1 has another column called OldReference with this query it is being set to NULL, now I need to set this column as the value of the NewReference where then the NewRefernce will be set based on the select query.

INSERT INTO [Table1] (
    Class, DateAdded, User, [Type], NewReference
) (
    SELECT Class_ID, GetDate(), @User_ID, table2_id, @Current_Lot
    FROM Table2
        CROSS JOIN @StripList
    WHERE MType = 'Add New'
)

What I have tried:

INSERT INTO [Table1] (
    Class, DateAdded, User, [Type], OldReference, NewReference
) (
    SELECT Class_ID, GetDate(), @User_ID, table2_id, T1.OldReference, @Current_Lot
    FROM Table1 T1, Table2
        CROSS JOIN @StripList
    WHERE MType = 'Add New'
)

You said, "...updating a table1...". Then try UPDATE query instead of INSERT query. Refer this link https://goo.gl/ta8NNi

I do not understand what you are asking.

Which is it? In the Object Explorer panel if you expand the [Table1] "Columns" the list of structural fields available will provide a clue as to what's what ... for use in a SELECT clause.

How can you expect a insert query when you want to update?

SQL

UPDATE T1
   SET DateAdded=GETDATE() --I believe you need a field for UpdateDate
    , User=@USER_ID
    ,Type=table2_id
    ,OldReference =t1.newReference
    ,NewReference=@Current_Lot
FROM Table1 T1, Table2
        CROSS JOIN @StripList
    WHERE MType = 'Add New'
