Abstract
It’s often remarked that a large percentage of Windows applications are little more than attractive window dressings over a relational database.

The chief responsibility of this type of software is to allow highly structured data entry and provide report-generating modules that summarize vast quantities of information. As a result, a great deal of thought (and code) is usually concentrated in the user interface tier.
