| 20090012943 | Method and Apparatus for Supporting Active Documents - A tool is proposed for supporting active documents. In one embodiment, an active document may be opened in an application program executing at a first computer, the active document being in a format recognized by the application program. Data relating to a first active document may be received data at the first computer from a user of the application program, and a search request based on the received data may be sent from the first computer to a second computer that maintains a plurality of data objects. In one embodiment, the application program at the first computer is unable to perform any functions with data objects at the second computer. The first computer may receive information relating to a result of the search request from the second computer and may store the information in the first active document. A request from the user of the application program that the active document be submitted may be received at the first computer, and the active document may be forwarded from the first computer to the second computer. A set of procedures that are pre-defined for this active document may then be performed with the active document at the second computer. | 01-08-2009 |
