Abstract
A customer at a client workstation communicates with access software on a remote server to retrieve data from a database. The client may obtain information, such as available inventory, the status of a pending order, and so on, without contacting the database owner, such as the distributor of the inventory. Reports can be generated automatically by the customer.
