I think the answer to my question is that views ARE what we in Access think of as stored queries. John W.

The concept of distributive computing has always appealed to me. Queries, run at the client side. There might be better performance with views, if there are limited people accessing the server. Views limit, not that the client can see it anyway, access to/display of the real table and present a pseudo table. Security?

Views use a query, plus the view keyword. I have a couple of books that I have read the chapter on Views, but I so far haven't managed to "get" why you wouldn't just use the query itself instead of turning it into a view. John W.
