I have been poking around the internet for an answer to my dll problem and I thought if I could execute an EXE then I would not need to call a DLL to create my reports.
 
You can use the HTML <A> tag.

Example:

<A HREF=&quot;C:\myexecutable.exe&quot;>Click here to run executable </A>

The only problem with this is the user is required to click the &quot;Open&quot; button from the &quot;File Download&quot; dialog box before running the executable.

If you find another way, please post it here.
