A form data source is the database query, table, or view that a form uses to retrieve the data that is displayed by the form. The data source also defines a connection to the Application Object Server (AOS) that the form can use to create, update, or delete database records. This section of the documentation describes how to use the Application Object Tree (AOT) to configure a form data source.
