Solution 1

When you are inserting then the column count and type should match and the format is INSERT INTO tablename (columns) SELECT (columns) from tablename : http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert_into_select.asp[^]
try:

SQL

INSERT INTO partylinks ( accountid, partyid ) Select max(accountsinfo.accid),2 FROM accountsinfo -- moved the ,2

1 value is from other table and other value is from a user input .
INSERT INTO TARGET_TABLE_NAME(Field1, Field2)
values (SELECT Field1
FROM SOURCE_TABLE_NAME ,2ndvalue)
this is not working

Solution 2

The format of INSERT INTO command with select is as follows

SQL

INSERT INTO TARGET_TABLE_NAME(Field1, Field2)
SELECT Field1, Field2
FROM   SOURCE_TABLE_NAME

You need to change your SQL as explained above and try again

Have you tried the query that Mehdi shown on his answer? Try this!
INSERT INTO partylinks ( accountid, partyid ) Select max(accountsinfo.accid),2 FROM accountsinfo

and don't use values clause, its invalid

values (SELECT Field1
FROM SOURCE_TABLE_NAME ,2ndvalue)
