In this paper we prove
several theorems concerning approximation by holomorphic functions on product sets
in Cn where each factor is either a compact plane set or the closure of a strongly
pseudoconvex domain. In particular we show that every continuous function which is
locally approximable by holomorphic functions on such a set is globally
approximable. Our results depend on a generalization of a theorem of Andreotti and
Stoll on bounded solutions of the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann equations on
certain product domains.
