About DataWindow objects
A DataWindow object is an object you use to retrieve, present, and
manipulate data from a relational database or other data source (such as an
Excel worksheet or dBASE file).
DataWindow objects have knowledge about the data they are retrieving.
You can specify display formats, presentation styles, and other data
properties so that users can make the most meaningful use of the data.
