Quick Select limitations

When you choose Quick Select as your data source, you cannot:

• Specify grouping before rows
  are retrieved

• Include computed columns

• Specify retrieval arguments for the SELECT statement
  that are supplied at runtime.

To use these options when you create a DataWindow object, choose SQL Select as your data source. If
you decide later that you want to use retrieval arguments, you can
define them by modifying the data source. For more information,
see Chapter 19, “Enhancing DataWindow Objects .”
