A data communications system for supporting World Wide Web (WWW) database queries to enterprise level databases utilizes two server based programs. A first program retrieves and transmits a specified version of a specified form to an intermediate forms program. The second program has two modes of operation. In either mode, database queries to the enterprise level database are performed and results transmitted. However, in a first, standard, mode of operation, a specific version of a specific form is read from a forms database and transmitted to the requester along with the query response. In the second mode of operation, only the database query results are transmitted, along with a modified header that specifies the appropriate form. The corresponding forms are retrieved from a local forms database and merged with the query response before being displayed by a Web browser. Missing forms are requested from the Web forms program and cached for subsequent requests.
