Notes:

The values shown in the Preview Option dialog when it appears are the default values. These values can be specified in the Query Editor category in the Options dialog.
If there are a large number of records in a query, it may take a long time when previewing the query and possibly run out of memory. In this case, it is best to use a parameter value which returns a small number of records.
When you preview a query, values from computed columns are shown in the Preview dialog, while results of formula fields are not shown.
