FROM Fir WHERE Name in (Select Name FROM Login WHERE Name='Aman')

what is that??

AS per your question & comment (invalid colum name UserName)
that's only best answer i can give.
Do you still getting same error??

Solution 3

There is no UserName column.
So the where clause in Fir table doesn't know where to find it(UserName
column does not exists for the sql interpreter).
You must use a column from the tables you specified in the from clause(right now there is only the Fir table there).

Try using Name instead of UserName in the first Where condition or add a table that contains the UserName column.

Solution 2

you forgot to join the Login table so:

SQL

insert into Accused(FirID,Name,FatherName,Gender,Phone,Address,Alias,NIC,Age)
select FirID,'farooq','farooq','farooq' ,'farooq' ,'farooq','farooq','farooq','farooq'
FROM Fir as f
inner join Login as l on l.UserID = f.UserID
WHERE l.UserName ='Aman'
