"Last row" because there's no index, right? Anyway, what RD says is partially ok but what I think you're going to have to do is use CONCATENATE on the return from multiple columns => to put into "single cloumn" as you say.

Is it possible to post some example data? Seeing "input" form is great but seeing "output" form is even better. That way there's no imagination involved.

You need to break it into parts. To select the last row you need to determine how do you identify the last row. Hopefully you have an ID column that is an identity column so then it is really easy.

SQL

SELECT TOP 1
FROM table1 
ORDER BY ID DESC

To insert parts of this record into another table is very easy.

SQL

INSERT INTO table2 (field1, field2, field3)
SELECT TOP 1 field3, field4, field5) -- or whatever fields you want
FROM table1
ORDER BY ID DESC
