Hi,
Someone told me there are applications in use that access data from websites. For instance, a loan application: The data entry person enters a person's name and address and clicks a button. The program sends the info to a website which returns credit info, which is filled into fields on the program.
Is there a name for this technique? The person who described this to me also said there is no real modification needed to the application, that it can be configured to get certain fields from external sources.
It's up to me (ugh) to find out about this, and figure it out.
Thanks for any input!
Mark
