Yes.
Because you are a newbie - I'd like to add that the above assumes that you
have issued a 'requery()' for the table or form, and the table is defined as
a bizobject. In other words just coding a "getDataSet()" will not retrieved
data without you coding a few other things.
In general
1. define the bizobject
2. request data by requery() - this is the SQL statement
3.getDataSet()
