The SAP Table View control is an R/3-aware active OLE control that simplifies the handling of table data. Using OLE Automation and OLE control technology, the SAP Table View control can either work as a standalone control or in combination with other SAP OLE controls like the SAP Table Factory.

Using the SAP Table View control is not necessarily combined with the use of any R/3 system. It can run in every OLE control container as an advanced active OLE control. Nevertheless, the SAP Table View control exploits its full functionality in conjunction with the SAP Table Factory. Combining both active OLE controls allows the user an easy and very quick way to navigate through hierarchical structures.
