Lotus Approach is a relational database management system included in IBM's Lotus SmartSuite for Microsoft Windows.

Start-up company Approach was first formed in 1991, won over 30 awards the first year, including "best of show" at Comdex. Considered the first "end-user relational database" that didn't introduce yet-another-file-format, which was new thinking at the time.

Sold to Lotus in 1994, then Lotus was purchased by IBM.
