Abstract
Systems and methods for creating and refreshing compound documents include a query part in a compound document to incorporate data from an independent data processing application. Upon creating or refreshing a document, the query part automatically generates a predetermined command and causes the predetermined independent application to execute the predetermined command. The datastream output which is produced in response thereto is automatically captured and incorporated into the document text to thereby create or refresh the compound document. The need for customized or proprietary links is reduced or eliminated.
