If you know which rows will be retrieved into the DataWindow object at runtime—that is, if you can fully specify the SELECT statement without having to provide a variable—you do not need to specify retrieval arguments.
If you decide later that you need arguments, you can return to the SQL Select painter to define the arguments.
Defining retrieval arguments in the DataWindow painter
You can select View>Column Specifications from the menu bar.
In the Column Specification view, a column of check boxes next to
the columns in the data source lets you identify the columns users
should be prompted for. This, like the Retrieval Arguments prompt,
calls the Retrieve method.
