Please note Chemical Abstracts Service has stopped development work on the special client access program that we have used since 2000. Compelling reasons for this migration include the ability to save searches and run them against new records as they are added to the database, increased security, and export of physical properties to Microsoft Excel. A pilot roll out to our main user group, the chemistry department, has gone very well.
