The only thing that would prevent it from being used is if your sql included
syntax that can't be rendered in the design grid. Some examples of these
are:
- union queries
- non-equi-joins (>, <, >=, <=, LIKE)
- joins in which functions need to be used to make the join work (tbl1 join
tbl2 on tbl1.field1=CInt(tbl2.Field1)
- pass-through queries
Otherwise, there should be nothing to prevent you from switching to Design
View from SQL View, unless there is something of which I am unaware in A2007
(I don't have that installed).
