I don't think LV is going to be able to help you with what you need to do. If you want the report to be generated on the client side of the interface you need some sort of clent-side scripting (typically JavaScript) to implement that functionality. The links to the files containing that scripting need to be incorporated into the HTML page that the user sees when they access onto the site.

 

With a conventional webserver, this sort of thing is pretty easy. Unfortunately, if you are using the webserver deployment option in LV I don't know how you'd do it, or if it's even possible.

 

Better news is that there are packages like XAMPP that can install a fully functional webserver on a computer from a single installer. You will need to learn at least a dabble of a couple new languages (PHP and JavaScript) but they aren't very hard. Let me know if you would like to hear more about that approach.
