Abstract
A process for generating reports from a desktop application program residing on a server computer system is described. The process can deliver such reports over a network computer system and includes a data services process that maintains state information of report generation objects, an object management process that manages the report generation objects and that encapsulates instances of a desktop application to produce reports based on data supplied by the data server process in accordance with the report generation object. Subscribers can request reports containing data which are dynamically generated at request time. One example of such reports are reports containing financial data.
