About DataView components

DataView components are used to display results from DataView (or DataView-like) queries within a form, instead of requiring a separate form to display the results. The results to be displayed can be based on any of the four types of DataViews: Predefined DataViews, Form DataViews, Critical Number Drilldowns, or DataSearches.

Like their separate-form counterparts, DataView components can be set up to use filters, input parameters, and other pre-query mechanisms to perform the query. Also like their separate-form counterparts, the resulting displays can be sorted, rearranged, and use layouts, calculations, and summaries.

To set up a DataView component, use the Specify DataView Settings dialog box.
