[dba-SQLServer] SQL Server - Append records without fail

In access you can append records into a table and if a given record fails, the rest go in.  I use 
that as a quick and dirty filter sometimes when (for example) appending records from one place to 
another.

AFAICT SQL Server will not append any of the records if any single record fails to append, which has 
always seemed strange to me.  It's almost like an unrequested rollback.

Is there any way to make SQL Server accept the appends that will go in and only reject the ones that 
will not for some reason?
