Best way to query for a form

[Max Moor]

Hi All,
I'm wondering about the most effiecient way to define a query for an
access form. In the properties pane for the form, I can point to a query
that is defined in the query pane of the database, or I can put an
equivalent SQL statement right in the property itself. Once you get down
to the nitty-gritty of the thing, does access treat these any differently?
I want to think, intuitively, that the SQL statement being "embedded" saves
me something, but I don't have any data to support this. I'd appreciate
any enlightenment.

Thanks, Max

if the query you are using is reused elsewhere...you are reducing the number
of times you will have to write the query.
