Choosing a presentation style

The presentation style you select for a DataWindow object determines the format DataWindow Designer uses to display the DataWindow object in the Design view. You can use the format as displayed or modify it to meet your needs.

When you create a DataWindow object, you can choose from the presentation styles listed in the following table.
