Default Does SQL Run Behind Queries?

Access 2007

When I run a query does Access, "go away" and run the SQL for what I see in
the GUI?

If the answer is, "yes" is there anything that I can switch on to see the
SQL that it is running?

What I would like to do, if it is possible, is to see the query in the GUI
and, at the same time, see the SQL that is being used to select the data from
the database; that way I can understand things (exactly what is happening)
more clearly and more quickly.

TIA for any replies.


The SQL *IS* the query.

The GUI is not the query; it's a tool that makes it easier to construct SQL.

You can view the query in the GUI or in SQL, toggle back and forth, look at
either one. You can't see the SQL "while the query is running" though, as far
as I know, if you mean in the same window.
