To view the field list properties, in Design view of any query, right-click in any cell in the query design grid, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu. You can use the SubdatasheetExpanded property to specify or determine the saved state of all subdatasheets within a table or query. You can use the SubdatasheetHeight property to specify or determine the display height of a subdatasheet when expanded. If these properties are set, Microsoft Access automatically updates the related record in the subform when you change to a new record in a main form. You can use the LinkChildFields and LinkMasterFields properties together to specify how Microsoft Access links records in a form or report to records in a subform, subreport, or embedded object, such as a chart. You can use the SubdatasheetName property to specify or determine the table or query that is bound to the subdatasheet. You can use the Orientation property to specify or determine the view orientation. Specifies the maximum number of records that will be returned by an ODBC database to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb). You can use the OrderBy property to specify how you want to sort records in a form, query, report, or table. You can use the Filter property to specify a subset of records to be displayed when a filter is applied to a form, report, query, or table. By setting this property to zero (0), no time-out will occur.
You can use the ODBCTimeout property to specify the number of seconds Microsoft Access waits before a time-out error occurs when a query is run on an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) database. You can use the RecordsetType property to specify what kind of recordset is available. You can use the RecordLocks property to determine how records are locked and what happens when two users try to edit the same record at the same time. The SourceConnectStr property specifies the name of the application used to create an external database. The SourceDatabase property specifies the external database in which the source tables or queries for a query reside. If the owner sets the RunPermissions property to specify the owner's permissions, you can run an append query to add records to a table. For example, as a user, you may have read-only permission for queries, while the owner of the queries has read/write permission.

This allows you to view a query or run an append, delete, make-table, or update query that you otherwise wouldn't have permission to run. You can use the RunPermissions property in a multiuser environment with a secure workgroup to override the existing user permissions. You can use the UniqueRecords property to specify whether to return only unique records based on all fields in the underlying data source, not just those fields present in the query itself. For example, if a query's output includes more than one field, the combination of values from all fields must be unique for a particular record to be included in the results. You can use the UniqueValues property when you want to omit records that contain duplicate data in the fields displayed in Datasheet view. For example, you might want to return the top 10 values or the top 25 percent of all values in a field. You can use the TopValues property to return a specified number of records or a percentage of records that meet the criteria that you specify. Setting this property is an easy way to show all fields without having to click the Show box in the query design grid for each field in the query. You can use the OutputAllFields property to show all fields in the query's underlying data source and in the field list of a form or report. You can use the DefaultView property to specify the opening view of a query. You can use the Description property to provide information about objects contained in the Database window, as well as about individual table or query fields. The following table lists all the query properties and explains what each one is used for. To display the Query Properties, left-click in an empty space in the query design window.
