This is a Microsoft® Visual InterDev™ demonstration application illustrating an Internet site for a fictitious insurance company, Friendship Insurance. The complete source for this project is available within the Visual InterDev "Client" project.

The Internet site enables existing Friendship customers to view their policy information over the Web, and submit online policy changes directly to Friendship.

Once submitted, the policy changes appear in the Pending Policies database for the customer's insurance agent. These pending policies can be viewed and finalized by the insurance agent using the intranet application (the "Agent" project) that accompanies this sample.

As you enter policy changes using the Internet application and finalize policy submissions using this intranet application, you will see the live information updates reflected throughout each application.

To run the sample applications, follow these steps:
1. Enter the Friendship Online area from the current Client project home page.
2. Login as one of the valid customers.
3. Click "View and edit my policies".
4. The Java applet will show a view of all current policies.
5. Select an auto insurance policy by clicking on the policy number.
6. Make a change to the coverage options, or add an auto.
7. Submit changes as final. (Notice the Java applet reflects the pending change.)
8. Now login to the intranet Agent site as the customer's insurance agent to view and finalize the changes.

You can follow the instructions for the intranet Agent site to run this related sample.

You can view a diagram outlining the information flow within the Client Web site Friendship application.

This sample information flow illustrates:
1. Authenticated logon, with auto-redirect to login page and security check on private pages.
2. Extensive database access via Active Data Objects (ADO).
3. Java applet, with live link to database content via Active Server Pages.
4. Many useful coding techniques for building a Visual InterDev application.
