In this case it's just a matter of implementation.  MSQuery can create a
separate query definition, which would be required in order to have the
data update as needed, as you've experienced.  But, as I said, it can also
store the definition "inside" the worksheet.

Closest and quickest comparison would be the requirement of SQL/400 in
order to compile an RPG/SQL program, but isn't necessary to run the
program.
