>I haven't used the designer for years, except to do some graphing...but note that you can always edit the QPR result, or, if you aren't fluent with SQL, use the designer to start your query and then copy the code from the SHOW SQL window...

If you've used the view designer you've used the query designer. The only difference is you can make the query updateable. Also, the query doesn't save in the DBC but in a QPR as you stated.
