You can display the data in the format that will best present the data to your users.
If a column can take only a small number of values, you can have the data appear as radio buttons in a DataWindow object so users know what their choices are.

If a column displays phone numbers, salaries, or dates, you can specify the format appropriate to the data.

If a column can take numbers only in a specific range, you can specify a simple validation rule for the data, without writing any code, to make sure users enter valid data.
If you want to enhance the presentation and manipulation of data in a DataWindow object, you can include computed fields, pictures, and graphs that are tied directly to the data retrieved by the object.
