The separate box you are suggesting would have to be kept up to date with the SQL, otherwise it would do more harm than good.<BR /><BR />Another consideration is who looks at the DQ tab. If the DQ is permanent, it should probably be commented in the General tab of the layer. I do this for layers. <!-- content transformation source ID: 00a30000008CTZY --> </BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Oct 2010 21:02:39 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/description-box-for-the-definition-query/idc-p/949228#M6828 DanaNolan 2010-10-14T21:02:39Z
